You are again misrepresenting my statements. I specifically said that the ash can be a problem. That is if it is not safely contained. It can be made into cinder blocks etc. It is true that it is a major problem due to mishandling. I have always promoted natural gas over coal and you should know that. Coal is primarily a problem in China, India, and all third world countries. There is a very modern plant in Springfield, Illinois the state capital.

It's the equivalent of about two new coal power plants per week. The report by energy data organizations Global Energy Monitor and the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air finds the country quadrupled the amount of new coal power approvals in 2022 compared to 2021. That's despite the fact that much of the world is getting off coal, says Flora Champenois, coal research analyst at Global Energy Monitor and one of the co-authors of the report. "Everybody else is moving away from coal and China seems to be stepping on the gas," she says.

Eyes Wide Open + 3,555 July 19, 2023 (edited) How's about this.. https://energyandcleanair.org/record-rise-in-chinas-coal-production-and-imports/ What is causing the record rise in both China’s coal production and imports? A new perplexing trend has emerged this year in China’s coal market. The country’s coal imports reached a new record for March and April this year. This seems paradoxical because domestic coal supply has increased sharply recently. This article uses data to identify the drivers of the increase in imports, and the implications for China’s energy security policies. In the first four months of the year, China’s coal imports increased no less than 89% year-on-year. The increase continued in April with a 73% increase year-on-year. This seems paradoxical because domestic coal supply has increased sharply recently, growing 10.5% in 2022 and 5.5% in the first quarter of 2023. At the same time, total coal consumption increased by 4.3% in 2022 and 3.6% in the first quarter of 2023. Thermal power generation, the main user of imported coal, increased 1.4% year-on-year in 2022 and 1.7% in the first quarter of 2023. And graphics included! Now that's proof is it not?

notsonice + 1,255 DM July 19, 2023 (edited) another Viking Link installs final cable section Construction work on 765km interconnector between Denmark and England will complete in late 2023 e last element of the submarine cable belonging to the 1400MW Viking Link interconnector, between Denmark and the UK, has now been installed on the seabed in the North Sea. The construction work on the 765km Viking Link, the world's longest direct current submarine cable, between Denmark and England is nearing completion, which is scheduled for the end of 2023. The project represents a Dkr13bn investment and constitutes an important part of Denmark's efforts to ensure long-term security of supply of green energy. Together with its English partner National Grid, Energinet has spent 10 years planning and building an electricity connection between the two countries. The work of laying and connecting the cable in the North Sea has been carried out throughout the project by the Italian cable manufacturer Prysmian. The last section of the submarine wire was installed 172km off the Danish coast in German and Dutch waters and took several days to complete. It involved a cable laying process, where a section of the link is taken up from the seabed and connected to a new section – wire by wire – before the complete piece is reinstalled on the seabed by flushing it under the sand so it lies at a depth where it is safely protected. Senior project manager for the cable project at Viking Link, Daniel Johan Brøndum, said: "The cable installation at sea is a highly specialized and technically difficult process to carry out, and there have therefore been many skills and many people involved in such a task. “Both the concrete task of installing the last connecting section of the cable, but also in the overall project. “Over a period of three years, we have installed and connected more than 615km of submarine cable – sometimes the waves have been high and we have been under time pressure from the beginning. “I am therefore immensely proud of the work we have done as a team and that we have been all hands on deck – so to speak – over a long period of time." The cable is now fully established from Revsing ved Vejen, through the Jutland soil, across the seabed, and all the way to Bicker Fen in northern England. The chief executive of electricity transmission at Energinet, Henrik Riis, said: “The completion of the cable laying at Viking Link is a fantastic moment for both the UK and Denmark. “After years of planning and construction, we are fully connected – from one grid to another – and one step closer to sharing green energy with each other for the first time. "When Viking Link is ready to go into operation at the turn of the year, the link will contribute to ensuring security of supply in both countries, as well as in the rest of Europe.” Edited July 19, 2023 by notsonice Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deutsche WindGuard on behalf of BWE and VDMA Power Systems has gathered the data. Gross additions in the first half of 2023 are already 65% of the additions for 2022 as a whole. Despite the existing challenges, the upper range of the association forecast of 2.7GW to 3.2GW is expected to be achieved. The associations are positive about the measures taken by the federal government to date and the current dynamics in terms of expansion and approvals but stated they are “still far from sufficient” to meet the expansion path of 10GW per year from 2025. Bärbel Heidebroek, President of the German Wind Energy Association BWE, said: "The current expansion is mainly based on the permits of previous years. Schleswig-Holstein, Lower Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia lead the expansion ranking at a subdued level and benefit from the weakness of other federal states in terms of expansion. “In southern Germany in particular, expansion continues to falter, but there is also considerable room for improvement in the leading countries. “The sharp increase in permits is based on North Rhine-Westphalia, Schleswig-Holstein, Lower Saxony and, to a lesser extent, Brandenburg. “These are too few countries! Significantly more speed is now needed in all countries. “In order to achieve the targeted annual expansion of 10GW, at least 12GW must be newly approved.” Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
