They could transition to a combined cycle plant if they wanted to increase efficiency. I'm obviously not an expert, just like 99% of people here. If you look at the basic sentiment here it is that this seems like a fake solution to the problem of coal power plants and I somewhat agree. I think that it would help to know that they are at least attempting to move away from coal towards nuclear or renewable sources. It seems like there are a lot of solutions that could be pursued.
- emp_zealoth 10y agoThe problem is smog. >They could transition to a combined cycle plant if they wanted to increase efficiency. And who is going to pay for that? How do they fuel them? They already have to import a sizable part of their natural gas consumption. Do they spend even more and add coal gassification? India is building out nuclear, obviously after Fukushima retards made sure to obstruct as much as they could Again, the issue is smog, that is killing right fucking now. Should they just ignore the problem and develop a massive program so you feel better?
