LOL in the Trump Musk Twitter interview even Musk said C02 from the oil industry is the cause of global warming!!!!! Drill baby drill means oil prices crash and oil companies go bankrupt. Vote for Trump and loose all of your oil company investments. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bloodman33 + 22 TJ August 13 A war with Iran is an abstraction since there are no common borders. Israel has submarines. They would not invade. I suspect the US fleet is entering the area to not stop Iran but to stop Israel and Benjamin Netanyahu (the war criminal) and the far right which wants the war. The minute he is out of power, he is in prison in Israel on the charges in Israel. Without a constant state of war Netanyahu's coalition breaks up and then it is jail time. He can share a prison cell with Trump. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are just unable to state the facts. China's energy use is primarily from coal, oil, and renewable sources: Coal In 2021, coal accounted for 60.6% of China's total energy supply, and in 2023, it was the primary energy fuel, accounting for 91.9 exajoules. Coal is also the main source of electricity in China, accounting for 62% of electricity generation in 2021. Coal is a major contributor to China's greenhouse gas emissions. Oil In 2021, oil accounted for 18.1% of China's total energy supply, and in 2023, it accounted for less than 20% of the country's total energy consumption. Renewable sources In 2023, China's primary energy consumption from renewable sources was 16.1 exajoules, up from 13.4 exajoules in 2022. In the first quarter of 2023, China generated 594.7 TWh of electricity from renewable sources, which was an 11.4% increase from the previous year. This included 342.2 TWh of wind and solar power, which was a 27.8% increase from the previous year. By the end of 2023, China had a total installed electric generation capacity of 2.92 TW, with 1.26 TW coming from renewable sources.

You sleeping again??? it is 2024.....do not be so cheap and buy yourself a new Calendar As of May 2024, coal accounted for 53% of China's power generation, which is a record low and down from 60% in May 2023. This is a significant shift away from fossil fuels, which used to account for two-thirds of China's power capacity a decade ago Luddite............China is Not Going Back Coal is doomed....one solar panel at a time........... or in the case of China....1 Billion solar panels a year are being installed now In 2023 the country increased its solar capacity by 216.9 GW that is 216,900,000,000 watts or at 325 watts means 670 Million solar panels installed in one year 2024 1 Billion panels installed??????

The inventory change compared with a draw of 3.7 million barrels for the previous week, when fuel inventories also declined substantially. For the week to July 26, the EIA estimated mixed changes in fuel inventories. Gasoline stocks shed 3.7 million barrels in the period, with production averaging 10 million barrels daily. This compared with a stock draw of 5.6 million barrels for the previous week, when production of gasoline averaged 10.2 million barrels daily. you're smart.
