You can use coal as a stopgap while you ramp up nuclear and renewables. This is what China is doing for example

- fulafel 3y agoThere is no "pure logic" in energy and climate policy, there's tradeoffs and value jugements. You can build coal or use fossil fuels like natural gas if you are willing to do climate harm, but it's obviously not the only solution.
