The smoke reminded me of back home in India. We burn lignite ash coal, it's 50% low quality coal. About 0.5M Indians die yearly from air particulates. http:/

  Yeah. I remember that. To make matters worse, people continue to burn trash in Delhi despite fines, which just makes the already bad air quaility even worse.

    Do you get such low temperatures in India that coal burning is an issue? How many months do you need heating?
    • usefulcat 9y ago
      Coal-fired power plants?

        Correct. We're opening one every month til the USA gives us unfettered uranium/plutonium access rights. We were kept like this for 50 years.....

      "India" is a huge country that includes some of the tallest and coldest mountains anywhere in the world. There are places in India where heating is required 100% of the time. I'm unaware of how much of New Delhi needs heating. Even tropics can be cool at night.
