"China generates almost twice as much electricity as the U.S. they generate more from cheap coal than we do from all sources.
... about 12 years ago, America’s use of electric power also stopped growing. It has remained at about 4,000 GWh ever since.
... China on the other hand now generates a whopping 7,500 GWh of electricity, or just under twice what America does.
... most of China’s vast power generation is from coal.
Of their 7,500 GWh
just about 5,000 GWh, or fully two thirds, is powered by cheap coal.
China is generating more electricity with coal than America is from all sources combined.
... Anyone who thinks China is going to phase out coal for wind is simply green dreaming."
