$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'L')ast month, China imported a total of 38.73 million metric tons of coal, compared to 41.38 million tons in imports in the same month of 2024, per data from the General Administration of Customs cited by Reuters on Monday.

Globally, China is the leader in renewable energy capacity installations, but it is also a leader in coal-fired power and continues to be the key driver of record-high global coal demand. Thermal power generation, which is overwhelmingly dominated by coal, rose by 1.5% in 2024 from a year earlier, to a record high of 6.34 trillion kilowatt-hours (kWh), data from China’s National Bureau of Statistics showed.

The persistent growth in Chinese coal demand, including for power generation, goes to show that coal remains the baseload of China’s power system to back up the surge in renewables and will stay such for years to come as power demand jumps with the increasing electrification of homes and transport.

'This Is Not About Tariffs': Ray Dalio Fears "Something Worse Than A Recession"
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he founder of the world's largest hedge fund, Bridgewater Associates, said in an interview with NBC’s Meet the Press that the foundation of the American economy - the "monetary order" — is under threat. "We have a breaking down of the monetary order. We are going to change the monetary order because we cannot spend the amounts of money. So we have that problem.

We are having profound changes in our domestic order... And we're having profound changes in the world order. Such times are very much like the 1930s."

So This is How the Oil Age Ends

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he age of oil ends when new oil becomes too expensive for buyers to buy, and at the same time too costly for producers to extract — not when a suitable replacement is found and deployed at scale. Recent data from S&P Global shows that oil&gas capital investment costs have surged to new heights globally, even as the price of oil has plunged to depths not seen in many years with no demand rise in sight. What follows will be anything but a “sustainable, diversified, and more resilient global energy system” — rather a dislocation lasting decades into the future. Curtain up! The show begins.

It's too bad all the things you believed in over the past 20 years turned out to be lies hey adam, you could have posted some actual stories about booming EV sales or massive solar and wind systems going on stream

Tell us again about those EV chargers Biden is having installed all over the nation, I loved that story, I've always loved SciFi.

Historic Step: All Fifty States Plus D.C. and Puerto Rico Greenlit to Move EV Charging Networks Forward, Covering 75,000 Miles of Highway. WASHINGTON –
The Biden-Harris Administration today announced it has approved Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Deployment Plans for all 50 States, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico ahead of schedule under the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program, established and funded by President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.

“America led the original automotive revolution in the last century, and today, thanks to the historic resources in the President’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, we’re poised to lead in the 21st century with electric vehicles,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.

The Economist says: ‘The Stone Age didn’t end because we ran out of stones.’ It ended because we invented bronze tools, which were more productive.”

The Engineer says: $this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'O')nly half of his statement is true. "The stone age didn't end." That part of it is true. We still make almost EVERYTHING out of stone. Your car, the wires in your computer, your computer chips, the bullets and the guns, the streets and the skyscrapers and the EV batteries are all made out of STONE. We just put a trillion times more energy into each stone to strip off the parts that we don't want to use. Take the right rocks to build a Flintstones car, then run it through a blast furnace and other processes and you can have a Prius come out the other end. We are still in the stone age. We just dumped the dinosaur age on top of it. The stone age will never end. The dinosaur age will end in the next 20 years.
