It’s annoying that most studies, statistics, laws, etc. related to coal plants omit things like coal fired cement plants which are also huge contributors to pollution.
- Retric 8y agoIt's not irrelevant, but the cement industry only consumes around 4% of global coal production. Further, coal fired cement plants are rather efficient because they can directly use the high temperature heat energy vs converting it to electricity. Prioritizing alternative sources of electricity first is simply a better use of resources. That said, in aggregate such things are important.
