[More people staying home, locked down, using electric heat to warm their apartments during winter 24/7 will actually use more electricity, requiring more coal burning than normal. ]
It’s not clear the average Chinese household can afford home electric heat. Per capita income is around $8K. That’s about $700 a month. Median salaries are likely far lower, perhaps $300-$400, because of the lopsided income distribution there.

Median salaries are likely far lower, perhaps $300-$400, because of the lopsided income distribution there. Chinese state subsidized electricity is nationally mandated to be just 8¢ per kiloW hour. The residents are further subsidized for electrical use under their socialist housing. In the US, it can be as high as 31¢ per KWh. . . Or as low as 11¢. In addition, some cooking is done with barbecue grills, using charcoal, on balconies. More sulfur dioxide released as people stay home and cook.
