Cronos, don’t want to bloviate about green bean energy fantasies and cash grabs are?
I leave that to you, wildcard.
I posted an article Global fossil power generation fell after the Hormuz closure due to solar and wind growth which said
My comment on that article was As this goes forward, will it destroy the Middle East and the Russian federations oil supply power?
Global power generation from fossil fuels fell in the first month since the start of the Hormuz closure, with the fall in gas-fired generation offset by large increases in solar and wind power, rather than coal.
Total power generation from fossil fuels in countries with near-real-time data fell 1% year-on-year, with coal-fired generation flat and gas-fired generation falling 4%. The dataset covers the world’s largest power markets: China, the U.S., the EU, and India, among others.
Seaborne coal transport volumes fell 3%, to the lowest levels since 2021. The data contradicts widespread expectations that coal power generation would rise in response to the crisis.
Outside China, in countries with real-time electricity data, coal-fired power generation fell 3.5% and gas-fired power generation fell 4.0% in March. This was due to increases in solar power (14%) and wind (8%) generation. Hydropower generation also saw a small increase (2%), but this was more than offset by a drop in nuclear power generation.
In China, power generation from coal increased 2% in March, according to weekly surveys by China Electricity Council, with generators on the coast shifting from gas to coal in response to the high prices. Coal-fired generation was still significantly below 2024 levels, however, as March 2025 recorded a steep 6% drop.
you then went on an ego trip accusing me of "selling a pipe dream"
At no point in that thread nor in any of the other threads I've been on since 2001 (I've been here for 25 years unlike you newbie) have I advocated any kind of government move like you accuse me
i have consistently been against the Middle East Mohammedans having power due to their petroleum assets - whichever means can be used to destroy that, whether the USA pumping more or more nuclear or more renewables or even more coal, I don't care - as long as Saudia stops getting money to spread its Wahabbi ideology
You in contrast seem to want the USA to lose to China - why is that?
