While these developments are to be celebrated, there remains a sobering reality: they still leave a lot of headroom for China to expand its coal
power plant capacity between now and 2030, even though its coal fleet is already more than twice the size of the US coal fleet.

The Ford Ranger Wildtrak we tested relied on the latter, a gorilla - mannered
power plant that oozes strength and pull
capacity (347 lb - ft / 470 Nm of torque, spread
between 1,300 and 3,300 rpm) but fails to provide any refinement whatsoever.

Power is currently engaged in an aggressive build - out of natural gas generating
plants, with three new units representing 4,300 megawatts of generating
capacity, coming online
between 2014 and 2019.
With more than 1,000 new residents moving to Texas every day and
power plant construction slow, the margin
between capacity and demand is expected to shrink in the years ahead.
However, there is a difference
between building up / increasing
capacity and actually increasing the amount of kWh coming out of conventional
power plants.
If we'd need 10,000 nuclear
plants, how many solar
plants would be required to achieve the same
power and reliability; and how much area, how far apart would they have to be placed to provide reliable supply, how much storage would be required, how much transmission line length and
capacity would be required how much total materials and how much transport
between all the processing, production, construction and decomissioning steps?
Between 2010 - 2020, rapid near - term investment in natural gas electricity - generating
capacity can progressively replace Australia's dirtiest coal - fired
power plants for baseload
power.
