When making a comment try backing it up otherwise you make yourself look less and less credible every time. So, what that shows is UK is spending ~x to obtain ~2.8GW installed per ~2 years which may drop to 1 year with enough extra investment of wind carrying a Capacity factor of ~50% Y-o-Y. So, 70% capacity factor in Spring/Fall, ~15% during summer, and roughly ~35% in the winter. How long they will last--> Good Question. Must last 20 years for above numbers to handle the 30GW current load. Now add that UK, by their own statements have to switch heating from NG to Electricity and this will effectively require the National Grid to increase by ~100% from its ~30GW grid right now. Add in Electrifying vehicles for 60Million People so another 1.5Million barrels of oil a day equivalent in Electrical demand at an assumed ~33% conversion factor. 1 barrel of oil ~1.7MWh @33% ~0.5MWh ~0.5MWh*1.5 = 750GWh per day , divide by 24 h in a day = 30GW continuous for electric vehicles per day. OF course charging said vehicles costs another ~10%, but lets ignore that little bit of reality... So, now UK grid needs to TRIPLE from its current paltry 30GW capacity Current wind turbine production/installation needs to triple Of course this doesn't work as only get ~35% CF in winter, so we actually need 6X increase to cover Fall/Winter/Spring --> Assuming you can cover with batteries the ~2 weeks you get every winter with near zero wind during which heating etc is highest(as if). If these batteries exist, summer's low point is not that bad as Solar can technically work and cover this region. And this also assumes H2 can be produced and stored and then used for industrial processes for use year round from excess wind capacity in Spring/Fall. Technically this is ~theoretically possible if you increase Wind Turbine production by 6X --> and all of their components. Replacing reliance on one region of the world for reliance on another is not a step in the right direction. Just a different slave master. Of course no other region of the world can do this other than Argentina(most of which is a desert), Australia(most of which is a desert), S. Africa(most of which is a desert), (parts of N. America, most of which is a semi desert, but all the needs of USA/Mexico/Canada? Not a chance)... notice a pattern.... Western Sahara/Morocco, Somalia.... maybe someone small like N. Sea neighbors such as Norway, Iceland, Netherlands, Denmark can as well as they have access to NG fields to store the H2 in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coal reserves are a red herring just like oil reserves are. The FACT is coal mining in the UK was totally uneconomical and that led to a massive reduction in its use, and triggered the coal miners strike under Thatcher. However it was the move from coal to gas plants and some biomass conversions which was enforced by the government due to climate and pollution issues that signaled the death of coal fired power stations in the UK. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dream on. Here is the reality, https://interactive.carbonbrief.org/the-carbon-brief-profile-china/ "Coal has been the single largest source of energy in China throughout the modern era. While the share of coal in the energy mix decreased from 77% at its peak four decades ago to today’s 56%, coal consumption in China grew by 650% over the same period. For decades, Chinese experts have been justifying the country’s heavy reliance on coal by reference to its resource endowment, which is “rich in coal, lacking oil and natural gas”. These endowments have informed China’s approach to energy security, including its continued focus on coal, as well as the drive to develop domestic low-carbon energy supplies and supply chains for electric vehicles that cut the need for gas and oil imports. (In fact, while its oil reserves are small in global terms, its gas reserves have recently grown rapidly, such that they now are only one-third lower than those of the US.) China is the world’s largest coal producer, mining 4.56bn tonnes of coal in 2022. It is also the world’s biggest coal importer. It imported 293m tonnes in 2022 – mainly for thermal power generation – from countries including Indonesia, Australia and Russia. China’s coal use doubled in the 10th five-year plan period (2001-2005). The expansion was stalled by the financial crisis in 2008, but quickly bounced back in 2009-2011. In 2014, premier Li Keqiang declared a “war on pollution”, following the release of a five-year action plan on air-pollution prevention and control in 2013. This led to major efforts including to shift homes from coal to gas heating and to close small coal-fired power plants near urban areas in favour of larger, more efficient units further away. Around this time, China’s coal demand slowed to a temporary “peak” in 2013. This was followed by a period of decline – and coal use only returned to 2013 levels in 2019. At the UN leaders summit on climate in April 2021, Xi said that China would “strictly limit the increase in coal consumption over the 14th five-year plan period” and “phase it down in the 15th five-year plan period”. This has been interpreted by some international observers as an announcement that China will “peak coal use in 2025”. While the latest IEA outlook suggests this peak may come as early as 2024, China’s coal use has meanwhile continued to rise. Demand for the fuel surged as the global economy – and demand for Chinese manufactured goods – rebounded from the Covid-19 pandemic. This rebound was compounded by drought that limited hydropower and by an inefficient electricity market, leading to power shortages in 2021. Severe droughts followed again in 2022 and 2023, along with heatwaves that pushed up demand for air conditioning. At the same time, the global energy crisis was pushing up gas prices and ratcheting geopolitical tensions. These factors have driven a renewed push for coal in China. Following Xi’s remarks on “strictly limit[ing]” coal, approvals for new coal-fired power plants declined by nearly 80% in the first half of 2021, compared to the same period in 2020, according to Greenpeace International. Yet the recent push for energy security and surges in peak power demand have seen a new wave of coal plant approvals in 2022 and early 2023. This wave of approvals amounts to a “u-turn” on Xi’s coal pledge, despite conditions stating that new projects should only play “supporting” roles in the electricity system to complement variable renewables. The power sector is the largest contributor to China’s coal demand and around 61% of its electricity was generated from the fuel in 2022, according to data from thinktank Ember. China has made it clear that it will establish a “new power system centred on new [low-carbon] energy” in the 14th five-year plan period. However, as Russia’s invasion in Ukraine squeezed global energy supplies, the government reiterated in 2022 that coal will remain the “ballast stone” of China’s power system. The 14th five‐year plan for a “modern energy system”, released in March 2022, underlines the importance of energy security, even as it calls for efforts to low‐carbon transitions. As such, China has not yet announced a clear timeline for coal phase down, let alone coal phaseout. The most recent five-year plan for the energy sector emphasises the “clean and efficient” use of coal and seeks coal plant retrofits to increase their flexibility, enabling the integration of more renewable power to the grid. ‘DUAL CARBON’ GOALS: “Dual carbon” goals refer to China’s two climate goals announced by president Xi Jinping at the 75th session of the United Nations General Assembly in September 2020. President Xi announced that China would reach its carbon emissions peak before 2030 and become “carbon neutral” before 2060. However, it remains unclear if the latter goal refers to the neutrality of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions or all greenhouse gas emissions. More broadly speaking, “dual carbon” goals also include China’s further climate commitments for 2030 announced by Xi at the Climate Ambition Summit in December 2020. The additional targets include a 65% drop in CO2 emissions per unit of GDP compared to the 2005 level. Han – who leads China’s leaders group on the efforts to achieve the carbon peaking and neutrality goals, said that “clean and efficient” use of coal was “an important means” to achieve the “dual-carbon” goals during a government conference in March 2022. More recently, in November 2023, the NDRC announced that coal power plants will receive payments from 1 January 2024 under a new coal “capacity mechanism”. (The UK and several other European countries are among those that have capacity mechanisms.) The scheme could distort market signals that would otherwise force expensive units out of the market, analysts said, but should also increase grid flexibility and allow more wind and solar into the generation mix “without compromising grid stability or energy security”. Another issue for China is that its fleet of coal-fired power stations is very young, averaging 12 years, and only 1.1% of its units have operated for more than three decades, which weakens the economic motive for their fast retirement. However, if China continues to add coal capacity, it risks creating more “stranded assets”, with declining profitability and the potential to delay China’s achievement of carbon neutrality. To date, China has not released a cap on coal capacity, coal generation or coal emissions during the 14th five-year plan or later periods." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oil demand in China slipped into a marginal contraction in the second quarter as weaker growth has dented consumption of transport and industrial fuels, the International Energy Agency said earlier this month. Clean Power Surging In China Generation from renewables is meeting nearly all new demand, according to the National Bureau of Statistics in China. Bloomberg cautions that the data only includes large facilities, which means any contribution from rooftop solar is likely undercounted. Record installations of solar panels and wind turbines mean renewable energy generation is surging, which helps reduce reliance on more polluting sources even as power demand rises. If China’s rapid deployment of solar and wind continues, the country’s carbon emissions are “likely to continue falling, making 2023 the peak year,” Lauri Myllyvirta, senior fellow at the Asia Society Policy Institute, said in a report last week. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
