There was an article in The Guardian last April that typifies the reporting, or rather non-reporting, about China’s use of coal: “China-ramps-up-coal-power-despite-carbon-neutral-pledges — local governments approved more coal power in the first three months of 2023 than all of 2021.” https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/apr/24/china-ramps-up-coal-power-despite-carbon-neutral-pledges The article bends over backwards to avoid criticizing China, noting that in 2020 China’s […]

By Don Ritter ~ The relationship between China and Russia poses the greatest danger faced by America and the West since the Hitler-Stalin Pact in 1939 initiated WWII. If alarm bells are not ringing all across Washington, DC, they should be. China was already a global power based on its expanding economy, modernizing military and […]

By Craig Rucker ~ Reports of the death of coal are, to quote Mark Twain, “greatly exaggerated.” In fact, the International Energy Agency (IEA) reveals that coal is having its best year ever, propelled by insatiable demand from China and India. Read the IEA’s full “Coal 2021” report at CFACT.org. Here are a few eye-opening […]

By Vijay Raj Jayaraj ~ During the first week of October 2021, both India and China made desperate attempts to buy the stranded Australian coal shipments in China’s port warehouses. The coal shipments, which were originally intended to be imported into China, were left stranded at the port after China banned the import of Australian […]

By Anton Lang ~ I mentioned in the earlier Post how there was not much that I liked about the way China does things. However, it seems that they are doing something correctly when it comes to bringing electrical power to their Country. Now, some people might say that China is very secretive about what […]

By Anton Lang ~ When it comes to China, there’s not much I agree with, in fact very little I do agree with. However, one thing I do agree with is the way they are going about their electrical power generation policy. This actually is one thing that they are doing right, and as much […]

By David Wojick, Ph.D. ~ We have all heard about China building a lot of coal plants, but the central role coal plays in their booming economy is amazing. It is a big reason they are the world’s leading manufacturer. China generates almost twice as much electricity as the U.S. they generate more from cheap […]

By Ronald Stein ~ China and India are NOT buying into the global alarm movement. Never in human history have we seen two countries (China and India), each with over a billion people, in need of such gargantuan amounts of energy to keep their economies accelerating and their citizens alive. China and India are the […]

By Andrew Bolt China isn’t just buying up the farm here in Australia – literally – but is rubbing our face in our suicidal stupidity. The fuss this week about the purchase of 43 farms in the Liverpool Plains by Chinese miner Shenhua Watermark actually ignores the biggest warning. Politicians are suddenly panicking that foreigners […]

By Duggan Flanakin ~ Like the “voice crying in the wilderness,” German Finance Minister Christian Lindner this week left Green Party activists and others enamored by the green religion gnashing their teeth. “Until it is clear,” said Lindner, “that energy is available and affordable, we should end dreams of phasing out electricity from coal in 2030. Now […]

By Don Ritter ~ Autocratic Producers (primarily Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, Russia, Iran, Qatar, Venezuela, and China) and certain democratic (or semi-democratic) Consumers (fossil fuel-dependent nations, mostly in the Global South), are uniting over oil, gas, coal, petrochemicals, natural gas-derived fertilizers and wind-solar-battery raw materials that are essential for building and maintaining modern industrial nations.

China’s electricity and China’s Muslims by Peter Burrows I wish every elected official in the country would read Anton Lang’s articles about coal-fired electrical generation: Coal Fired Power Dying – Not So Fast. That might, might, change a few minds about the best way to go about the so-called threat of climate change. In short: […]
