Operating cost for electric cars is $ 0.50 to $ 0.75 per mile versus $ 0.10 for gasoline powered cars once battery replacement costs are included By 2020, Chinese PER CAPITA emissions will be higher than America's Does not believe that the 0.6 degree temperature rise to date is the West's «fault,» but does believe that China is the future problem Whatever U.S. does about emissions reduction and what people do as individuals is totally trivial in face of the fact that China is adding huge amounts of coal fired generating capacity The most meaningful emissions reduction strategy today would be to convert China from coal to natural gas The claim that there are more frequent or more intense hurricanes and tornadoes as a result of AGW is not scientifically supported We can reduce emissions, but it is important that we do the RIGHT things (and NOT the WRONG ones) Not worried about «peak oil;» coal can be converted to liquid fuel

Over five years with LBL, Nate's projects were focused on energy efficiency policy, assessment of Chinese urban form energy use and emissions, Chinese energy data, transport electrification and renewable electricity scenario analysis, the coal sector, and the steel sector.

The Chinese government has already set out ambitious plans to cut the country's reliance on coal — an additional cap on CO2 suggests the country's leaders are serious about tackling their emission problem,» he said.

Emissions from coal plants in China were responsible for a quarter of a million premature deaths in 2011 and are damaging the health of hundreds of thousands of Chinese children, according to a new study.

Recent figures suggested emissions from Chinese coal plants may have peaked last year, while the government in the past few months has announced a series of measures to curtail coal development.

The effectiveness of these «offset» reductions is highly questionable: it is, for example, possible to credit investment in Chinese coal plants as emission «cuts».

This rapid growth of coal power overseas means that, mathematically, Chinese CO2 emissions are unlikely to stop rising.

The implication is that Chinese carbon dioxide emissions may peak before 2020, given that these emissions have historically tracked coal demand so closely.

Without the U.S. making a serious commitment to cut emissions through the Clean Power Plan, its highly unlikely that the Chinese would have entered into an agreement to peak its coal use by midcentury and boost renewable energy growth.

Significantly, preliminary analysis suggests the reduction in coal use will mean Chinese emissions fell in 2014.

«The Chinese will surpass the coal - fired generating capacity and the CO2 emissions of the US in the next couple of years,» Mr. McIlvaine says.

If life were a James Bond movie, the villain would be Chinese and he would hatch a diabolical plot to scare the western world into destroying its manufacturing base by making energy really expensive and to burden it with so many stupid regulations that 10s of millions of jobs would be exported to China where they would burn vast quantities of coal and produce so much CO2 that whatever western nations did it would never come close to reducing emissions at all.

In addition, China has met its 2020 emissions reductions goal three years early (noting, though, that while coal use in China is declining, Chinese companies are working to build and finance the construction of coal - fired power plants elsewhere, like this project in Kenya.)

With international corporations like Apple launching a massive push for solar (and sustainable forestry) in China, the Wall Street Journal reporting that Chinese energy reforms could spell even more trouble for coal, and Tesla announcing potentially game - changing energy storage that could transform the energy landscape, we can be cautiously optimistic that there may be a real energy / emissions transition underway.

More importantly, I've heard people arguing that the decreased warming is the result of increased sulfur dioxide emissions from Chinese coal.

December 8, 2017 India's steel industry, like America's, is dominated by electric - based processes November 20, 2017 Link between growth in economic activity and electricity use is changing around the world November 16, 2017 Growth in global energy - related carbon dioxide emissions expected to slow November 8, 2017 EIA forecasts growth in world nuclear electricity capacity, led by non-OECD countries October 25, 2017 China leads the growth in projected global natural gas consumption October 10, 2017 Buildings energy consumption in India is expected to increase faster than in other regions October 4, 2017 Global gas - to - liquids growth is dominated by two projects in South Africa and Uzbekistan September 27, 2017 Chinese coal - fired electricity generation expected to flatten as mix shifts to renewables September 19, 2017 Beyond China and India, energy consumption in non-OECD Asia continues to grow September 14, 2017 EIA projects 28 % increase in world energy use by 2040

Explanations for the pause in global warming range from ocean oscillation cycles to Chinese coal plant emissions, volcanic activity to some scientists even saying there is no hiatus in warming.
