Joe, look how China Is Helping. China’s Gift To The World For Climate Change As of July 2023, China has 1,142 operational coal power plants on the mainland. China has the most coal-fired power stations of any country or territory in the world, and more than half of all the coal-fired electricity in the world is generated in China. The Chinese coal industry is said to account for close to 20 percent of total global emissions, which is more greenhouse pollution than all the vehicles in the world combined. Without using coal, the Chinese economy would decline and Chinese leader Xi Jinping would be unable to fulfill his ambition of making China the world’s hegemony by 2049-the centennial of when the Chinese Communist Party took power, the report pointed out. 50 GW of coal power capacity started construction in China in 2022, a more than 50 percent increase from 2021. “Also in 2022 a total of 106 GW of new coal power projects, the equivalent of two large coal power plants per week, were permitted. When completed in ( 5-10 years) these coal power plants will put in the atmosphere 330-360 million tons of CO2. This is the equivalent of adding 80,000,000 combustion engine cars on the road. And this does not include any new additional coal power plants in the future from China. So China has set in plans to increase pollution of our planet with CO2 gas while many other nations are spending billions of dollars to change their power infrastructures to reduce CO2.
