China is currently the number one producer in the world of wind and solar power, but dont use it themselves. While they manufacture 80% of the worlds solar panels, they install less than 5% and build a new coal fired power station every week. In one year they turn on more new coal powered electricity than Australias total output.

10/12/2020#0183;#32;BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) For the third time this year, a court has ruled that Montana''s Public Service Commission has ignored energy law in setting prices for a wind or solar farm. District Judge Kathy Seeley ruled the commission underpaid Caithness Beaver Creek for electricity it was scheduled to sell to the states largest monopoly utility
14/1/2017#0183;#32;Based from statistics, the capital investment of coalbased power supply can only cost from US12 per watt in thermal capacity. In comparison to wind and solar energy, which are relatively higher, coal energy generation is very affordable. In fact, coal mines are
25/3/2019#0183;#32;By 2025 the picture becomes even clearer, with nearly the entire US coal system outcompeted on cost by wind and solar, even when factoring in the construction of new wind turbines
25/11/2014#0183;#32;This before or after subsidies? Ontario buys wind and solar power for .80 KWH and resells it to the consumer for .08 :confused: Southern Ontario is a maze of private solar panel installations and wind farms as a result. Then they are shutting down all their coal and nuclear plants to guess what? Buy coal produced electricity, from across the
In 2001, the wind power industry added over 1,700 megawatts of capacity a 66% annual increase and more than doubling the previous record year set in 1999. Extending the PTC through 2003 will allow the wind industry to continue building on last year''s momentum, but it is insufficient for sustaining the long term growth of renewable energy.
20/2/2017#0183;#32;To help you judge, the chart below shows how such a power plant compares to the emissions intensity of not just Australias existing coal plants and also Australias overall grids emissions
14/2/2017#0183;#32;Argument two: Coal is more reliable. The wind doesn''t blow all the time and the sun doesn''t shine all the time wind and solar are therefore intermittent power sources.
6/6/2014#0183;#32;quot;Who is the greenest energy retailers of them all?quot; It is a question commonly posed to RE, so we have decided to use their submissions to the renewable energy target to help you be the judge.
Fake or real, you be the judge. What do Donald Trump, Malcolm Turnbull and Cory Bernardi all have in common? A conviction that coal and gas is the future for reliable power delivery. In this enlightened age of mass communication, highly developed technology and a
