They'll be used to replace inefficient, old plants. They've been doing that for a number of years. China Replacing 31GW of Coal Power with Coal Power Written by Hank Green on February 4, 2009 That was an odd headline to write. And, oddly enough, it’s actually a green decision. Over the next three years, China will be replacing a huge amount of small, dirty, inefficient coal-fired power plants with newer, cleaner coal-fired power plants. Obviously, we think this is a fine idea. Unfortunately, they haven’t been able to come up with a replacement that isn’t "more coal." China has already begun closing down these small inefficient plants. In 2005, the average coal plant consumed 370 grams of coal per kW/h produced. That number has already dropped to 349. The new plants China is bringing online can generate a kW/h with just 283 grams of coal. Good news? Yes. But a real solution, it is not. Via CleanTech.com ecogeek.org
