China is not about to commit economic suicide. They realize that without reliable, cheap electricity there is poverty, social and political instability. BTW Australia is getting rich selling China all the coal it can produce. Meanwhile in demented, corrupt Biden’s America.....
There is this to be concerned about - about 40% of our electricity comes from natural gas plants. These are relatively inexpensive to operate. Keep in mind that much of our natural gas comes from fracking and fracking is a target of the GND fanatics. If ‘Slo-Jo and The Ho’ are able to ban fracking, expect your power bill to rise by several orders of magnitude.
Not too sure I trust your numbers, but anecdotally America is shutting down coal plants in favor of ..... NOTHING.
I really don’t care if Democrats want to destroy their society to save an Earth everybody else gets to destroy.
I just don’t want to stay on that ship with them.
Let them sink. Take care of you and your people and get away from Democrats.
When your enemy is committing suicide stand aside and watch.
Full disclosure; I have 10.6 kW of new solar panels ready to install, I live in very rural Hawaii, so I will have power for my needs.
btt
Why doesn’t the press ask the question, “where is our electricity going to come from?” of the President. Why doesn’t anyone in DC seem to care about real, concrete issues like keeping the lights and heat on in this country. ?
Are the Kardashians there?...
In 2019 there were 241 coal powered units across the United States which generated 23% of the United States electricity in 2019, an amount of electricity similar to that from renewable energy or nuclear power but about half of the amount generated by natural gas plants.

I think France gets close to 80% of their power via nuclear generation.
We should be building GenIV nuke plants.
Shut those plants down now and replace them with acres and acres of wind turbines with solar panels on the vanes.
Don’t believe ridiculous unsourced emails should be your lesson here.

The come will come when these GND fanatics and their supporters will be purged mercilessly from public influence.
Hi.
I don’t care as long we get unirrupted electrons.
For my whatever.
Tesla, or a new home in Napa Valley...

I believe there are over 600 coal fired plants in the US. Here in Utah, the 1,800-MW coal-fired Intermountain Power Plant in Delta, Utah is supposed to convert into an 840-MW combined-cycle facility that will run first on a mix of natural gas and hydrogen and will ultimately operate on hydrogen alone, according to the owners. All of the electricity currently goes to CA, who does not like coal. The loss of the coal market is causing serious a depression in Utah coal mining towns. No idea where the hydrogen will coming from - it’s been the fuel of the future for at least the last 50 years. My bet is it will be natural gas for a long time, especially since they think they will store it underground in natural caverns.
I almost want to protest just because it’s CA:)
tsk tsk.
apparently not enough in calico to prevent their rolling blackouts...
Uhhh this says 400, I’ll take websites word for it. Try again

Notice how many Solar and Wind Powered Plants there are and the percentage of the Electricity they produce. IT IS SCANDELOUS!
