Coal to clean power: 10 retired thermal plants to go nuclear; 100 GW goal set for 2047 (Times of India)
|
|
India is considering converting 10 decommissioned thermal power plant sites into nuclear facilities to boost its nuclear energy capacity to 100 GW by 2047. The selection process involves stringent assessments of seismic stability, water availability, and proximity to populated areas. The initiative aims to leverage existing infrastructure while exploring advanced technologies like small modular reactors....

China′s coal heartland fighting for a greener future (The Guardian)
|
|
Shanxi produces more coal than India. How will it survive in China's clean energy future?Deep in the recesses of an underground cavern, covered in dust and soot, Xu Xiaobo wondered why, having recently graduated with a degree in mechanics, he was on his hands and knees sifting through layers of coal sludge. But there was no time to ponder the ancestral forces that had brought him down into one of his province's oldest mines. There was coal to dig for.New to the job, keeping up with colleagues was challenging. As he tried to crawl at speed under a conveyor belt of coal, he landed badly and sprained his wrist. He still can't rotate it properly. Continue reading......

'Green' China Runs On Dirty Coal
Authored by James Gorrie via The Epoch Times,
In 2020, China announced its plan to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060, with peak emissions expected to occur in 2030 and then decline thereafter.
According to Gao Yuhe, a Beijing-based project leader quoted by Greenpeace last month, it could be sooner than that. He said that “2025 is a critical year for China to make overall emissions from its power sector stop increasing.”
When it comes to so-called green energy, Chinese authorities talk a good game, but do they walk the walk when it comes to reducing the use of highly polluting coal?
Not really.
What's more, the entire green argument is deeply flawed in multiple areas. More on that later.
Green Technology
China is indeed a global leader in developing, manufacturing, and installing green technology. No other nation can match its output of solar panels, wind-powered generators, batteries, and other renewable energy technology. Within the first five month...
