One of the ways China is killing coal is of course with coal, aaaand the worlds largest ultra high voltage transmission power lines~30000 km's, which is so extensive that moving power from supply to demand works over several time zones. Enabling maximisation of solar and wind production by sending noon solar in one place to power the end of day surge somewhere else and coal is
playing a role by bieng run at full efficiency, with no need for load dumping.
Currently more than half of the load on the ultra high voltage transmissiin network is bieng provided for by renewables, and a mad mix of anything and
everything to fill in the gaps.
kind of like finding anything to put in empty shipping cans going back to china
driving American production of Hay, watered from aquifiers,ending up in China
or possibly mountains of wierd suspect corn,bieng shipped and then burned as fuel
in a coal plant.Thermal plant here in Nova Scotia, burns wood to make electricity.
And then back to hay, which is pelletised and used as fuel.World wide the use of bio fuels is going to be in the millions of tons, so it is too soon to close the book on carbon.

- foxyv 2y agoI was about to mention that, China only has China Standard Time. Although its borders do span 4 time zones observed by other countries.
