Be a shame if their Three Gorges Dam failed…
Seems as if Dr. Evil’s plans are coming to fruition eh?
They’ll have to relay on eating bats this winter.
They breathlessly reported they are making batteries and a certain utility out west is buying them ... at a rate such that in 5 years they will be able to power 50,000 homes for one day! One whole day!
For a bit of perspective here... Realize that my county is one medium sized county in one state that is actually less than average across the country for population and homes. At the rate of 50,000 home capacity in 5 years, it would take them 25 years to produce enough batteries for just my county alone.
That's for one day. Actually really only a half-day since presumably the solar panels would power the homes during the day and the batteries would only have to power the homes during the night. But you know if a 2 or 3 day winter storm comes through...guess we'd all freeze on the second day. Not to worry, they've got 25 years to work it out...
You see the numbers folks? I'm all for renewable energy, but it is a joke at national scale right now. The technology is nowhere, nowhere near ready.
Are yurt sales up?
The United States could suffer the same fate if we do not get manufacturing returned to our shores and our natural resources out of the control of nut case progressives/socialist/communists.
China will not suffer alone.
Coal stocks are one of the most significant investment opportunities right now - and uranium stocks.
The “crisis” began when the CCP decided to ‘fix’ the oversupply of coal problem by cutting production. Then, the mines in the northern provinces were hit with safety issues and shut until fixes could be down, next the floods hit leaving the remaining northern mines with no way to get their coal past the washed out roads and bridges.
None of this matters, of course, as long as there is away to blame these problems of something or someone else without threatening the rule of the CCP.
Hopefully the warming from the additional co2 from the coal plants will ease the early winter chill.
