Germany to reopen coal-fired power plants as Russia throttles Europe’s gas supplies

June 21, 2022 -

Germany's energy troubles began when the country followed the United States and most of the West in passing economic sanctions against Russia and providing military support for Ukraine. Russia retaliated by cutting gas supplies to Europe. (Related: EU's embargo on Russian oil will cause oil prices to skyrocket – but Russia will be largely unharmed.)

Moscow has been gradually cutting the continent off of its much-needed supply of natural gas, raising the possibility of severe ...

China plans to finance and build thousands of coal-fired power plants worldwide

April 25, 2018 -

As online reports indicate, almost half of all the new coal generation expected to occur in the next decade will be due to the work of a number of different Chinese corporations. This is based on data compiled and presented by a Berlin-based environmental group called Urgewald, which showed that there will be more than 700 new coal plants built in China and in other countries over the next few years.

Although Urgewald's report is clear in that many of the coal plants are ...

Report: China must shut 600 coal-fired power plants to hit climate targets by 2060

February 14, 2022 -

But Xi offered almost no detail, raising doubts about how the Chinese government plans to achieve its new climate targets. In its recent report, London-based climate data provider TransitionZero said China must shut nearly 600 of its coal-fired power plants by the end of the decade to become totally carbon-neutral by 2060.

Combined, those coal-fired plants can generate up to 364 gigawatts (GW) of power. The report also showed that China could save up to $1....

Particle-forming sulfur dioxide is the most damaging pollutant from coal-fired power plants, concludes study

January 23, 2019 -

Environmental engineer Daniel Cohan, who led the study, pointed out that there are more unscrubbed coal plants in Texas than anywhere else in the country, and they’re causing air pollution that has a serious impact on people’s health.

He stated: “What I found eye-opening in this study is that most of the health damage is coming from particulate matter, but most of Texas' focus on air pollution has been on ozone smog. It's a real dichotomy where the standard we violate ...

Over-the-top environmental activism against coal-fired power plants leaves New Englanders FREEZING as grid teeters on failure

January 07, 2018 - coal-fired plants were “virtually extinct” at that time. Konkel further explained how “Stringent environmental regulations and a steep drop in the cost of natural gas” led regional officials throughout New England to move away from coal in deference to natural gas. (Related: UN official actually ADMITS that ‘global warming’ is a scam designed to ‘change world’s economic model.’)

“In 2000, coal accounted for roughly 18 percent of the region’s electricity generation ...

COAL WAR: Biden locks up federal lands from coal mining, shuts down remaining coal-fired power generation fleet

May 30, 2024 -

The Bureau of Land Management has just released a new series of regulations that have the clear intent of locking up millions of acres of federal land from coal mining and drilling for oil and natural gas, as well as shutting down the nation's remaining coal-fired power generation fleet.

The new set of rules effectively makes it impossible for utilities to continue to operate coal-fired power plants without investing in new, largely unproven commercial and highly expensive, ...

ENERGY SUICIDE: G7 nations forge plan to shut down ALL coal-fired power plants between 2030 and 2035; electricity costs to sharply increase

May 05, 2024 -

With few exceptions, the nations of the G7 – or at least those over which the G7 has influence and control – will be expected to come up with energy production alternatives that the globalists have decided are good for the climate and the planet.

All of this was devised at the United Nations (UN) Climate Change Conference (COP28) in Dubai last December where globalist powerbrokers decided that Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States ...

US solar panels produced by coal-burning plants in China

August 06, 2021 -

There have been concerns that the solar industry's reliance on Chinese coal will increase emissions over time. Manufacturers rapidly scale up the production of solar panels to meet the demand of the public, making the solar industry one of the most significant polluters in the world.

China's low-cost, coal-fired electricity gave the country's solar-panel manufacturers a competitive advantage that allowed them to dominate global markets. Chinese factories supply over three-quarters ...

Key points:

The heart of story lies in the quiet towns of Wheatfield and Warrick County, Indiana. There, the Energy Department’s December 23 directive landed like a late-hour script change for utilities Northern Indiana Public Service Co. (NIPSCO) and CenterPoint Energy. The utilities had prepared to shutter NIPSCO’s two units at the Schahfer station and CenterPoint’s F.B. Culley Unit 2, moves reviewed and approved by the regional grid manager, ...

Coal plants in Pennsylvania are dumping toxic pollution in rivers under expired permits

October 18, 2018 -

There are 20 coal-fired power plants operating in the state. In addition to the dark columns of air pollution that spew from smokestacks, burning coal generates arsenic, lead, mercury, selenium and other heavy metal byproducts.

These toxic wastes are discharged into nearby rivers or lakes, where they will accumulate in fish and contaminate the water. People who consume either of those can contract cancer, encounter problems with their kidneys and livers, and witness ...

EPA repeals stricter mercury caps on coal plants, pitting energy costs against public health

a month ago -

In a move celebrated by energy advocates and condemned by environmental groups, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has repealed tightened limits on mercury and toxic emissions from coal-fired power plants. The decision, announced on February 20, rolls back 2024 amendments to the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards and represents a significant victory for the Trump administration’s pro-fossil fuel agenda. The agency argues the reversal will save hundreds ...

India facing massive, widespread power outages as worldwide shortage of coal takes plants offline

October 12, 2021 - coal-fired plants, which supply roughly three-quarters of India's electricity, are watching their coal stocks be depleted to levels that can only guarantee power for three days before New Delhi is likely to suffer rolling blackouts, according to NDTV.

"Our request to the centre is that railway wagons should be arranged and coal should be transported to the plants soonest. All the plants are already running in only 55 percent capacity," Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's ...
