>With all the battery and solar production being added in the next few years I think they will also rapidly remove coal from their grid. Is this irony? You can't seriously think the Chinese Communist Party will stop using coal until they run out of it. Why would they? They are a terror based dictatorship that harvests organs from "undesirable" people for profit, and perform an actual genocide today as we speak. Do you think they care about man man made climate change? Why would they? The poorer and more desperate people are the easier they are to control. One doesn't have to look far (North Korea) for examples of this. You can't trust a single number that comes out of China, their own foreign affairs guy admitted their numbers are "man made" a couple years ago. Also deindustrialisation of the West is in their great interest so they will pretend they are "ditching coal" while opening new brown(the dirtiest kind) coal fired power plants every week or so. You know when they will stop using coal? When there is another way to generate energy that is predictable, cheaper and relatively easy to build. Neither renewables nor battery storage is that. Especially when you have huge deposits of brown coal just beneath the surface nearby.
