That has nothing to do with graduate work. You are the one who is still too cowardly to tell us about where you supposedly got an econ degree. Well, thank you for finally revealing that you took an Econometrics course. Took you long enough. I have not seen any evidence of it in your posts, but perhaps that will emerge later. You do not have a source for that Chinese coal article above? I guess it is not a good source, right? Edited December 3, 2023 by Ecocharger Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh it has been all over my posts proving you wrong and I have said it many times. What we don't have is a single claim of where your econ education might have occurred. You are clearly just too embarrassed by it. So if you were competent you would select a chunk of the text article and search for it. That would take you directly to it. Are you so incompetent that you can't do that? I have to do that all the time to realize that your quotes are not in the articles you claim they come from and in fact do not exist.

What I see from you is mostly meaningless blurbs and a reluctance to identify sources. Not impressed. You should identify your source so that readers do not have to go into browsing to locate it.

Old-Ruffneck + 1,242 er December 3, 2023 Does Coal Have a Future in Power Generation? | OilPrice.com This sums up the coal argument fairly well. China and India are building coal fired plants at break-neck speed. 100 in 2023 for China. That equates to 2 a week................ have quintupled from 200,000MW to 1Million MW. Just because US and Europe slowed down (mainly replaced with NG) fired plants don't expect all nations to do the same. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It does not mean that they are not shutting down the old ones or that they are using the new ones at full capacity. The Chinese love to build empty cities as well, surely you know that.

Not just China, India and alot of southeast Asian countries are building new COAL fired power. Not replacing, adding too as look at the population increase in that part of the world. China and India have 2/3rds the worlds population....need lots of electricity!!! Basic economics. Cheap electricity from coal, and more stable than solar and wind. For the record, I am not for or against coal. All forms of energy that are inexpensive is most important. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

India's population growth is falling fast: Vietnam Thailand Malaysia and Indonesia are decreasing just as fast South Korea and Japan are shrinking fast Maybe now you have a clue. The Chinese economy has slowed because it is a Ponzi scheme and other economies are booming and replacing it. Companies are leaving and going to SE Asia, Mexico and the US. .

The temperature can not decrease enough in December to undo what happened in the first 11 months. You seem to forget that the Southern Hemisphere exists, It is summer there.
