2500 New Coal Plants Planned December 2, 2015 By Paul Homewood http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/environment/article4629455.ece From the Times: More than 2,400 coal-fired power stations are under construction or being planned around the world, a study has revealed two weeks after Britain pledged to stop burning coal. The new plants will emit 6.5 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide a year and undermine the efforts at the Paris climate conference to limit global warming to 2C. China is building 368 plants and planning a further 803, according to the study by four climate change research bodies, including Ecofys and the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research. India is building 297 and planning 149. http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/environment/article4629455.ece The study has the list by country in the Annex: The authors spend a lot of time dreaming up pathways to rapidly close all this and existing capacity soon after 2030. But, as I have pointed out before, none of these countries are going to shut down perfectly efficient modern power plants after just a few years use. https://notalotofpeopleknowthat.wordpress.com/2015/12/02/2500-new-coal-plants-planned/
