No blackouts but unaffordable prices for many! Modern coal plants are not as depicted. Of course you know that. They give off puffy white clouds of steam etc. The residue left over is more of a problem possibly. 

unaffordable prices for many......????? caused by outrageous prices for Nat gas ......

 

Of course you know this...

 

yep your great Nat Gas caused prices in the US for electricity to nearly double last year...........

cost of wind and sun last year???? same price as usual .....free....

renewables kept the average price down

Of course you know this...

 

Modern coal plants burn coal ....they have a typical solid waste  (flyash that is toxic) output of 20 percent of the coals original weight that needs to be disposed of . Have you ever worked on a Haz waste cleanup...???? I bet no...and that you have no idea how much flyash piles litter the US

 

How will these sites get cleaned up??? higher electricity rates thanks to the Coal idiots

You are avoiding the fact that Great Britain and Europe have not developed THEIR natural gas, biogas, ethanol, or anything other than wind turbines. That left both Britain and Europe dependent on Russian Gas. Putin saw his opportunity to raise his prices drastically, and simultaneously invade Ukraine for the second time in recent history. 

The electrical costs have raised drastically along with dependence on wind turbines, rather than go down because of them. That should work out well over time, but it has not proven itself cost effective apparently. A mixture of all potential energy sources is just common sense, as is developing your own natural resources and biomass including waste products.

The UK has developed their NG and roughly 50% of the UK's NG comes from domestic production. the vast majority of the balance comes from Norway. In fact its so developed that unless there are new discoveries our NG will literally be all gone by 2030!

https://www.theecoexperts.co.uk/blog/uk-gas-sources

Your post is from August last year when NG prices were ridiculously high and why the UK and the rest of Europe had massive bills. Fortunately now NG is low the cost of NG to the average houshold is falling dramatically.

Your presumption that its because we havent developed the NG fields is about as wrong as you could get.

The Dutch are in a similar position with their Groningen gas field as its causing very large earthquakes so the government there has had to cease production due to safety concerns.

That's equivalent to about a hundred large coal-fired plants and enough to supply the whole of Britain. At least 50 GW of that capacity began construction in 2022, the report said

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. We have plenty of natural gas in the ground that is undeveloped.

China is building six times more new coal plants than other countries, report finds

https://www.npr.org/2023/03/02/1160441919/china-is-building-six-times-more-new-coal-plants-than-other-countries-report-fin

China permitted more coal power plants last year than any time in the last seven years, according to a new report released this week. 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. "We saw that China has six times as much plants starting construction as the rest of the world combined."

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? LMAO

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.”

Gross additions in the first half of 2023 are already 65% of the additions for 2022 as a whole

Germany installs 1.5GW onshore wind in H1

Gross additions in the first half of 2023 are already 65% of the additions for 2022 as a whole

 

 

In the first half of 2023, 331 onshore wind turbines with a cumulative capacity of 1565MW were installed in Germany.

 

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.”
