Which is exactly why we should be hoping this works. Given the way the Chinese economy works - being state controlled and all - if it takes off I expect they will start replacing coal plants with this, well before EOL. In the West it would he much harder to do that.
- makomk 5y agoChina seems to have a tendency towards big, high-profile projects that they can use to project a narrative of technological superiority but don't fit into any kind of useful overall strategy. I wouldn't be surprised if they build a bunch of these, brag about how advanced it makes them, and then just carry on building and using coal as the workhorse of their power grid. This wouldn't work nearly so well in a country with a free presss.
