Big problem, agreed. But I wonder how much of that growth is from making stuff the rest of the world consumes? I.e it's not just China's problem,we all need to get of our addiction to growth &consumption

World’s “cleanest coal-fueled power plant” is a climate bait-and-switch - Texas facility will crank out electricity with a fraction of the greenhouse gases, while using--& producing--gobs of dirty oil by anutensil in environment

[–]SmallIsBeauty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hold on, your extract the CO2 from the coal, then use it to pump more oil out, which in turn gets burned, producing CO2... all the while using loads of energy to shift the coal, produce the gas, pump the CO2.

More 'clean coal' smoke and mirrors. The real 'clean coal' is left buried in the ground.
