China is surging ahead with coal -- rapidly approving and building new power plants despite its own promises to cut back on carbon

Last year, the country approved the highest number of new coal-fired power plants since 2015, according to the report, released Monday by the Center for Research on Energy and Clean Air and the Global Energy Monitor . “China continues to be the glaring exception to the ongoing global decline in coal plant development,” said Flora Champenois, a research analyst at GEM.

China added a record 125 gigawatts of solar and wind capacity last year, making up 2% of the country’s electricity demand. And though that target is even higher this year, “even this increase won’t be sufficient to supply all of the demand growth without increasing power generation from fossil fuels,” said the report. It added that for China to truly cut down on carbon emissions, it needs to start phasing out its “vast coal power plant fleet” rather than continue growing it.

US & Europe are the No. 1 & 2 biggest polluters of the environment..Stop distorting facts the western media skewed typical narratives.. SHAME...

It's called lying, to gain a commercial advantage as manufacturing goes up and costs go down. Their ideology is polar opposite to ours... and the WEF wants to mimic the CCP...

E a Europa usando carvão ninguém fala vão acabar com o planeta

what about US

Now you understand why Trump left that Paris green deal shit

Economically it's very smart and gives them a huge advantage versus the West.

China don't give two hoots about climate. Never have never will.

😡😡😡😡

The result of what happened to Russia is ... Chinese shouldn't trust westerns countries banks... And china should learn how to develop his local market.

Well they've not falling from climate crisis scam then.

allegedly they will have nuclear plants in 5 years...Where Canada, and the US might have them in 20 no 40 years..Thats funny you believe China

Yes... Everyone is. Biden has approved more permits for drilling for gas and oil, than the orange cheeto-man did.. The 'leaders' don't care. We're most likely gonna crash into the proverbial iceberg in ~ 29 years..

The destruction of nord stream 2 by US forced European countries to restart their power plans. Who is the evil?

Hehehe...and you believed it

Leftist elitists are all the same. A bunch of crooked liars that are destroying the world and obstructing progress on the way to globalization under communism. They are planning to finish what Hitler started and now have Dems on their side. We are done.

We in the so called 'west' are asked to reduce our carbon emissions, pay carbon taxes etc and yet China opens more and more coal fueled power stations....makes you wonder why we bother.

Where's GRETA!!!!!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

fake!

Why are we still sending millions of pounds of international aid to China every year when they obviously don't need it.

Don't believe in what China said

I’m shocked

You are a disgrace to media. I have been following you and nothing have about injustice in Nigeria.

Communist countries don’t abide by international laws.

After we put billions into the Paris Climate Accords, this is the thanks we get? Thanks a lot China you promised!!!

MAGAs will love that news

as long as it can keep your walmart and coatco stuff affordable, why not

China is hell on earth

so is Germany and the UK

Are we surprised though?

China has been the Wests factory floor since the 90s...we have contributed to Chinas pollution

So we were able to smash the shit out of the planet with coal power olants but theyre not..... tough shit i say

Holy shit! China lied?

Inflation is doing a crab walk and Fed officials fear its pinch | CNN BusinessThe possibility of a 2023 market rally ground to a halt last week amid an onslaught of unfortunate inflation and economic data that spooked investors and increased the likelihood that the Federal Reserve will continue its economically painful rate hikes campaign for longer than Wall Street hoped. Huh. Almost like the Keystone XL was intended to prevent all of this. Record inflation, crime, drug deaths, child trafficking plus energy dependence, open borders and now on the verge of WW3, all in 2 years -Democrats must be in heaven bc this is their agenda! Translation: Inflation still rampant after Democrats printed almost $2 TRILLION in new money to fix inflation. You can’t even make this stuff up.
