It seems that the increased of costs for energy production in the last year have impacted much of the world, resulting in increased coal consumption.....which put more emissions into the environment and brought the earlier numbers almost back to where they were before cutbacks took effect.

Leading the Coal usage Charge is China. -
It's also the worlds leader in green energy production and initiatives. I assume they don't want to slow economic growth by taking coal offline until everything is converted to renewables. I don't of any other country that would do that.Originally posted by rustybronco View Post1979 CBX, AW440 Maico, GS1150EF

But what percentage is 'clean coal'?Originally posted by GS1150Pilot View Post
PBS just reported that 90% of Americans believe that China does not respect the individual rights of it's citizens. I'm wondering about that other 10%.

I have not seen it, but my wife was in several cities about a dozen years ago and found the air pollution then was bad everywhere she went, and only varied when it was worse.Originally posted by rustybronco View Post
For many Chinese people, they sky above them is a dirty grey, not blue, even when the sun is shining.
Of course, that was before covid was invented, but people were even then wearing masks, because of the pollution.
adding to that....China uses coal because it is cheap, and that meets the needs of Americans, Canadians and others who all share a universal wish: they want their goods to be produced as cheaply as possible.Last edited by argonsagas; 01-12-2022, 04:07 AM.Bertrand Russell: 'Men are born ignorant, not stupid.

As much as I detest the political ideology of china I'll give them credit when any is due they do understand and respect science. They have made progress in emission reduction, Beijing in particular has improved considerably.

For many years i Went to the same part of the Ghanzhou province in Southern China. I watched the sky go more & more grey & I also watched the sun come back out a few years later. Some of that was just displaced (to the North) but some of it was from cleaner practices including the banning of thousands of 2 stroke scooters from the city centre (the slack was mostly picked up by electric bicycles but then more & more cars came along as well).1980 GS1000G - Sold
