According to expert reporters, and smug academics, Coal is dead, a stranded asset, and a dying investment all around the globe.
Meanwhile, the International Energy Agency (IEA) has just published a graph of global approvals of coal-fired plants over the last ten years. For some inexplicable reason, the original graph was various shades of blue and green, by crikey. (Almost like the IEA hoped that no one would notice the contribution from China?).
But obviously, the CCP is always Communist Red, so I fixed the graph for them. We can see how badly China wants to achieve Net Zero right here in the graph We can also see how good President Xi is at sticking to his words — look at the ramp up from 2021.
These are just approvals for coal plants, of course, but the IEA says “China started construction of nearly 100GW of new coal fired plants”. No one is planning a coal plant in 2025 that they want to shut down in 2035.In 2021, China promised the UN that they would “strictly limit” coal growth and their emissions would peak before 2030.
Reuters, 2021: China will start phasing down coal use from 2026 as part of its efforts to slash greenhouse gas emissions, President Xi Jinping said at a summit of global leaders on Thursday…
As we all know, the media is one giant gas-lighting propaganda cartel. Tell the children.
Don’t forget, China has a small population and has been well developed for 70 years, why would they be building coal plants at all?
349
I think the point is that Australia seems keen to throw away a natural resources comparative advantage that has given us our last 70 years of development. Given our tiny population.
390
Obviously it is difficult to build an aircraft carrier using wind and solar. Australia is about to get a close view of same as a new circumnavigation fleet is on the Chinese spreadsheet. An unscheduled visit into Melbourne or Sydney may be a good time to show them we intend to only buy Chinese panels and windmills.
10
Particularly when they have monopolised the production of wind turbines and solar panels. You have to wonder why are they still building coal fired power stations.
I can only think of two options – They are very generous to be using up their coal reserves to build the lowest cost form of electricity generation for the rest of the world or they have recognised that wind and solar generators are useless trinkets that stupid people in other countries buy to appease the weather gods..
540
“or they have recognised that wind and solar generators are useless trinkets that stupid people in other countries buy to appease the weather gods..”
Yes.
But not so many believe in any gods any more.
So, perhaps, it is to virtue signal and feel warm.
And that warm feeling can be achieved by micturating without the benefit of undoing your trews, at least for a minute or two!

Poor attempt at sarcasm if that was your intention, Peter.
But why indeed would they build coal plant Peter when your kind keep telling us that “renewables” are the cheapest and most reliable form of electricity production?
And China which is a major nuclear weapons power, nuclear reactor power, AI power, robotics power, manufacturing power, space power with moon landings (manned planned before 2030) and a permanently manned space station and has a 2.5 million+ man military and has some cities more modern than any in the West is NOT a developing country.
Which of the above are attributes of a “developing country?
And China is by far the world’s largest CO2 emitter, at least twice that of the next biggest, the USA, and increasing exponentially, not that it matters.
Which of those things does Australia have, Peter and why are we destroying our economy for your CO2 fantasy?
Oh, I forgot, China also has the world’s largest slave army of useful idiots to defend them at the expense of the West.
510
Love the way you ignore the size of china’s population. Which is key when looking at industrial and energy production
09
No one is ignoring China’s population Peter. President Xi said he would limit coal, and then did the opposite. My point is that he lies and deceives all the time. Tell the world. Everyone should know he is not a man of his word.
Another point is that the West is suicidally stupid. Obviously the CCP have no intention of cutting carbon emissions, and our coal fired fleet is an irrelevant dustmite on a polar bear. All our angst is a theater performance. No one cares about CO2. If they did, they’d be criticizing China wouldn’t they? You pretend to care, but you support the CCP more than the “carbon threat”. Curious eh?
And then there is the vacuous slave media and Blob Agencies that color in graphs to hide the truth, or hides the graphs completely. Your attempt to distract us is pathetic. President Xi knew what the population was when he made promises in 2021 didn’t he?
The fact that the green-media-banker-blob world ignores the space-faring-nation that is the worlds coal furnace is like a burning radioactive sign that none of them are honest.
Would you like me to go on Peter?
140
Peter, if you had started this conversation with, “OMG! This is awful what China is doing with coal fired electrical generation. They must adopt zero emissions technology immediately for the sake of the world”, then maybe you would have kept some aspect of credibility.
But to come here and say that:
a) It’s ok for China to increase their emissions; and
b) Admit that large scale non-nuclear low emissions generation is inadequate;
Means you have no credibility at all in putting a case forward for any other country to reduce emissions or not use nuclear.
You haven’t used those exact words but what you have said equals a) and b).
From here on, any argument you put forward for action on climate change/urgency to act/reducing CO2 emissions/no nuclear we can totally ignore and/or point back to your comments here and say “what a hypocrite, no credibility, does not truly believe what he’s pushing for”.
70
Most countries build coal plants to provide cheap, reliable energy, regardless of their development status. It’s self evident to anyone who isnt preoccupied wuth tryinf to be a smug smartarse.
240
Say what ??
20
why would they be building coal plants at all?
A very good question indeed, considering renewables are so cheap and reliable, and they are the leading manufacturer of both.
170
Hi Peter,
Ahhhh, to observe the workings of a very weak mind that is so susceptible to following cults!
A mind where logic never existed and facts are always outweighed by opinions.
Peter, the underlying driver of your cult is the lie that carbon dioxide controls our climate and producing more is going to be an ecological disaster for the whole planet.
Now given that you obviously believe this lie, your weak mental ability is quickly demonstrated when you express no alarm at China producing far more than Australia and increasing their output of this demon gas dramatically. Instead you make excuses for them to produce more and more carbon dioxide. Now I’m hoping you already do understand that the planets atmosphere is all joined together and therefore CO2 is not restricted to stay above the place it’s produced? You’ve got that, hey?
So let’s get this cleared up, do you believe increasing the production of carbon dioxide into the worlds atmosphere is a good thing or a bad thing?
160
Love a good ad hom, which this is not
05
Exactly. He attacked your reasoning, and you have no answer. Do you, or don’t you care about CO2 emissions, and if you do, why are blockbuster emissions from China OK?
90
The point is NOT that China should refrain from building coal plants. They absolutely should not. Neither should any other country that wants to build out a cheap, reliable electric grid. Including advanced countries that want to reverse the damage of 30 years of unreliable intermittent wind and solar. A diverse mix of baseload power that doesn’t rely on the vagaries of the weather is a good thing.
The point IS that China’s climate promises are blatant lies at best, and intentional misinformation meant to harm their global adversaries at worst. China has always talked a good game about being ‘green’, and they have built a lot of mostly useless wind/solar power to provide credulous western activists/reporters with a reason to believe them, but they have (wisely) never faltered in their commitment to building out their baseload capacity with cheap, reliable fossil fuel based power (and other reliable sources like nuclear and hydro). China is more than happy to sit back and laugh while virtue signaling western politicians cripple their cheap and robust 20th century electric grids with intermittent power sources that make them less reliable and more expensive. Meanwhile, they will continue to build out their 21st century grid with cheap and reliable 20th century energy sources.
150
You need to sharpen your cognitive bandwidth Peter Fitzroy. Military buildups are running parallel to coal fired power buildups in the countries with the largest populations. Join the dots.
70
China did not get to be America’s rival as a world power without
pursuing soft power diplomacy but fossil power energy in the tradition of Sun Tsu ambiguities.
50
Does this mean you will excuse their massive increase in CO2 emissions that your climate cult is so against because your friends of a communist state?

Morning Jo,
Many thanks for your work and persistence.
I’m sure I’m not alone in wishing you well.
Best wishes,
Dave B
330
Jo, I find it totally amazing that we NEVER see any articles like this on MSM. Poor old OZ, best coal, best uranium, great gas and we (not me) throw it all away to build wind turbines. They destroy bird and bat life and decimate the landscape plus burden our homes with ugly solar panels. I cannot remember the last coal fired power station being built. Hopefully DM will come to the rescue. I do remember a few years ago new coal fired power station technology that had lots of promise. However we couldn’t have that but we can sell coal overseas!
360
About to say the same thing. This article wasn’t that hard to write was it? Dead simple, even a school kid on work experience could have written this article. Jo does it way better, in an entertaining, humorous and informative fashion, but you get the point. As for the bot attack on Jo’s site – clearly that horrible woman E -Commissioner (Julia Inman Grant ) or e-karen is not doing her job. Here we have a scientific based, informative Australian website/blog with hundreds of Australian and international subscribers being attacked by state based hackers. Where’s the action by the Australian government ? Why aren’t our defence forces protecting Australian users from these cyber attacks.
300
I venture to say that the e-karen is indeed doing her job (as she perceives it) which is to attempt to stamp out thoughtcrime wherever it can be found or imagined.
The more they tighten their grip the more sand slips through their fingers.

Coal is free. And far cheaper than windmills and 30,000km of transmission lines. And Green hydrogen. And all the other fantasies like Snowy II which does nothing. We are being bankrupted by our own government throwing hundreds of billions away and demanding more and more cash. We have plenty of coal and gas and shale and our government will not let us use them. Even the UK imports American wood pellets to burn to replace coal. It’s insane. The intentional destruction of Western democracies by communists. And no one explains how we are better off in any way now and in the future. All orchestrated by the Chinese run UN.
Australia has never had such a greedy, extreme left government, nor the UK, Canada and NZ. Nut jobs. Dishonest. And now Albanese will tear up AUSUK. Which was ridiculous in the first place, another elaborate jobs for South Australia scheme in the land of the never ever.
We don’t want to upset our Chinese neighbours who are buying all our coal. We refuse to defend ourselves or make ourselves energy independent. Even our biggest windmill manufacturer just closed while our dilettante PM spent a cool billion on an utterly ridiculous spec company in California of all places. For no reason he can explain or even attempted to explain. He could have saved thousands of manufacturing jobs this year alone.
And now Albanese is pompously telling us that what matters is non government productivity. Doing what? Government is leading the way passing more money grabbing economically crippling carbon laws? Shutting down our 250 ‘biggest polluters’? Destroying the value of farming as much as in South Africa? Stopping mining for fantasy animals and insects and stopping tourism for aboriginal ‘art’?
The hoax of man made CO2 has never been examined in parliament. Or Quantum computers. Or saving the Great Barrier Reef. Or the blue banded honey bee. Or the sacred art at Mt Arapiles and everywhere else, starting long ago with the secret women’s business of Hindmarsh island.
The problem is that as in the UK, the Tories are just as bad. And consider there is no such thing as a woman. Moira Deeming may have won her case but all the senior Liberal party is behind slandering Persutto, not Deeming. As with all politicians, our money is their money. And they can never get enough of it. Now they are taxing the inflation they have created with unearned Capital gains laws, which will kill investment and stocks and farms. And they know it.
510
TdeF, I am only left with one question.
How do Australians preserve their hard-earned assets in an economy undergoing systematic and deliberate destruction?
Surely the only people that support this Government are public serpents, unions on useless government projects like SH2 or Melbourne’s rail loop, welfare recipients and imported Labor voters, some of the most uneducated, violent and anti-Western people on the planet.
I already know people who have either emigrated or will soon likely do so, including my neighbour.
Australia will remain a practical One Party State for the foreseeable future so it will only get worse.
300
Shame on the fake conservative Liberal Party.
How could they lose the unlosable election? As bad as they are, they are still less bad than Labor.
And shame on my fellow Australians (present company excepted) for being so stupid as to vote for Labor, Greens or Teals. Why didn’t you think? Were you more interested in all the “free stuff” Albanese, Greens and Teals “promised” which comes out of the pockets of hard working taxpayers?
300
We need a new Conservative leader. The current politicians on both sides want to get elected by having no policies at all and pandering only to swing voters. Tony Abbott dropped the ball and refuses to play. He would win in a landslide. So would Nigel Farage even in Australia. But a lot of the former Liberal party is to the left of Fidel Castro. I suspect it is why Tony does not want to run again and get the same coup.

FWIW – Figures for USA
“Another blogger gets it
I’ve written often about inflation and its dangers in these pages, possibly so much that some readers have wandered off to read something more entertaining. Oh, well . . . can’t please everybody.
Now Francis Porretto does some calculations, and comes up with an interesting answer.
… the inflation rate from 1997 to 2025, if compounding occurs annually, was approximately 7.27%.
That’s 7.27% every year on average over the past 28 years. Click over to his place to read how he calculated that inflation rate. Based on my own back-of-the-envelope calculations, and input from experts in the field, I’m pretty sure he’s in the ballpark on that one.”

‘Why didn’t you think?’
At the start of the year Dutton had them in his pocket, but when our election came around he was sacked. We know why, so I won’t labour the point, they were swayed by ideological extremes across the way.
Canavan is totally focussed on saving our country from mass delusion.

There are a few good people, but like a fish an organization rots from the top. Morrison was Turnbull’s protege but Dutton managed to be worse because he stood for nothing.

The only person leading the charge in the Nats is Matt Canavan- I haven’t heard Littleproud reject Net Zero yet. His statements in the past reveal he’s an ardent warmist. But I would love to be corrected.

I always expected Dutton to say something significant and launch the Libs on a new path. Instead nothing but the usual fluff. In hindsight I expect he was out of his depth, just like Albo.
00
Blame China, that will fix your domestic leadership problems. \s
34
That’s the same thing.
80
?Interrogatory?
Why would China invest heavilty in coal fired power generation just to shut it down in a few years?
IMO they ain’t stupid like virtuous Western suckers.
Will Australia continue to sell China coal in 2030?
240
With all these coal (and nuclear) power plants being built, even if Australia got a rational government (not going to happen in what is now a One Party State), we would likely have to wait our turn for years before any firms had enough capacity to deal with Australia. And with the general anti-business environment here, feral unions and lawfare against any development not deemed to be “green”, why would they bother?
But you can be assured that there’ll be no shortage of windmills, solar panels and Big Batteries that China keeps pumping out as instruments of economic destruction of the woke countries of the West and especially Australia which is fanatically committed to the anthropogenic global warming scam.
And I just heard on Their ABC Radio (Australia) the federal environment minister Murray Watt talking about all the wonderful cheap renewables Chrissy Blackout Bowen is building and all the supposed renewables industries and jobs being created. I’m sure he’s no relation to James Watt, improver of Newcomen’s steam engine (I doubt either Bowen or Watt have even heard of James Watt).
Can someone advise me how you can get access to these cheap renewables? I can’t find a retailer for them and my electricity bill is higher than ever. In fact, my retailer is Red Energy who do in fact claim to sell 100% renewables but that’s not reflected in the price…
250
Many mines in England used Newcomen engines to pump water from mines, esp. coal mines as this was a rapidly expanding industry. James Watt and his partner Matthew Boulton offer mines that they would install their new improved engine without cost but the mines paid for half the savings of fuel that resulted. Who could refuse that?
The Watt engine initially was around 3% efficient (rising to 6% as they improved) whereas the Newcomen one was about 0.5%. It was more reliable too.
James Watt died a rich man.
Whereas a certain m*r*n wants us to install new machines at inflated prices and inflated costs which WILL mean blackouts..

This single sentence highlights the absurdity of Sleezy holding a productivity summit:
Australia’s total coal fired capacity (built over the last fifty years) is 18GW. China approved five times as many new coal plants in a single year
Low cost energy is fundamental to human productivity. There is no way to get high productivity from low density energy sources.
Sleezy would do well to have a peak look inside the furnace of a coal fired boiler feeding a 600MW generator. He might learn something about energy density.
How many 5MW wind turbines do you need to replace a 600MW coal fired generator. Obviously a trick question because there is no meaningful answer to the question. That is what AEMO and CSIRO are yet to comprehend.
Australia loses one of its smaller coal fired generators and prices go through the roof. Last night prices ascended above $10k/MWh. The current forecast for tonight is $17k/MWh.
Australia has three grids on the go. The one it needs, which is falling apart. The fantasy one being promoted by loonies that is squandering vast amount of Australia’s wealth and independent households still hanging off the grid to get some benefit from what it has become.

Andrew Bolt has recently told us that China is now building 10 Nuclear plants for just 43 billion $ and that’s about 0.043 trillion $.
The 3 banks and Nous group study also tells us Aussies must spend or waste 7 to 9 TRILLION $ for toxic, unreliable W & S and destroy our Eastern Aussie environment for a ZERO return.
BTW that .043 trillion $ Chinese Nuclear investment is tiny and Labor wants to waste 162 to over 200 times that amount for just 15 to 20 years and then start all over again.
Anyone not see the 7 to 9 TRILLIONs of $ disaster we’re heading for, thanks to Labor the Greens, Teals etc?
And Aussies have about 1.7 trillion $ annual income to service this looming super debt.
Am I right or wrong, because I’m not an educated bloke and I’d really like to know?
170
Here’s the link to the Aussie net zero study and the TRILLIONs $ costs involved. This is updated to 12 the June, but still up to 9 trillion $.
https://reneweconomy.com.au/net-zero-study-finds-australia-needs-nearly-three-terawatts-of-wind-and-solar/#:~:text=Australia%20will%20need%20nearly%20three%20terrawatts%2C%20or%203%2C000,to%20%249%20trillion%2C%20according%20to%20a%20new%20study
60
Recently Peta Credlin also told her viewers / readers that the net zero cost would be 7 to 9 TRILLION $.
Last year a S A Liberal Senator also told the Senate that the full cost would be 7 to 9 TRILLION $ using W & S.
Very few Aussies understand the waste of trillions of $ for a ZERO return and are ignorant about the horrendous W & S replacement costs every 15 to 20 years.
230
Pretty soon, once the trillions start flowing, someone will notice that this is real money. Taken from one of the remaining taxpayers.
No public serpent pays tax. They just get less wages. Think about it, military, medical, teaching, bureaucracy, councils, government jobs, NDIS. It’s all funded by the real taxpayers, the primary, secondary and tertiary producers that AREN’T funded by the government.
And there’s a shortage of taxpayers left.
130
Yes I agree, but how do we get the message to Aussie voters by 2028?
It seems an impossible task and I even dropped this into a conversation yesterday and just received blank stares and grins.

I would also like to know why Labor (and their LLite buddies) are going down the path of renewables and all the rubbish coming with it, when ultimately there is only one outcome.
We will be broke, with huge debt.
We will have an unstable power supply until the day the power eventually stops.
We will have third world living standards
We will have abdicated all pretense of national security (no manufacturing, no army, no fuel, no food)
We will be speaking Chinese (which from my view point is way better than wearing a hijab)
Are the ‘Elite’ really so stupid to think that if they continue on the path they are on that we are going to end up with cheap reliable power and maintain a high cost of living?
Not even Bowen and Albo are that stupid. So why are the putting the whole country at risk?
140
Yes dianeh I agree with you and yet very few seem to understand very simple sums and data. So what’s their problem?
60
“… and maintain a high cost of living?”
I think you mis-wrote! 🤔
20
Unfortunately, Bowen and Albo ARE that stupid. Albo I believe doesn’t know anything about anything outside of fighting politics and fighting tories. He certainly hasn’t even a basic knowledge of business management, hence the repeated above CPI wage rises coming because he simply thinks people should get them because the cost of living is so high. He doesn’t even realise his government’s policies are largely responsible for the falling standards of living. With Bowen he might know a bit more than Albo but I believe its all about his gigantic ego not being capable of accepting the huge destruction of the national economy for which he and he alone is responsible. His is a boorish personality of little accepted culture as shown by his munching on his dinner in the middle of a mass service inside a Church.
30
BTW here’s the first few paragraphs of the link above. Again does anyone think their so called Net Zero cost of 7 to 9 TRILLION $ is possible and repeated every 15 to 20 years?
“Australia will need nearly three terrawatts, or 3,000 gigawatts, of wind and solar if it is to meet its goal of a net zero economy by 2030, a plan that could cost up to $9 trillion, according to a new study”.
“The astonishing numbers are revealed in a new report – Net Zero Australia – put together by Melbourne University, the University of Queensland, and the Nous Group, and released on Wednesday”.
“To put the 3,000 gigawatts of wind and solar in some context, Australia currently only has about 30GW of large scale wind and solar across the country. So it has a lot to do”.
“The report underlines the scale, complexity and cost of the net zero challenge, which it describes as a “once-in-a-generation, globally significant and nation-building opportunity” that will transform the domestic economy, and Australia a key player in global decarbonisation efforts thanks to the exports of green energy and metals”.
“But it won’t be easy”.
“First off, Australia will need to triple the power capacity in the National Electricity Market’s by 2030 to be on track for net zero by 2050, and it will ultimately need to increase the size of the NEM 40 times over to meet that economy wide and clean export target”.

Australian businesses who are either fully invested in renewables for easy guaranteed profits, or are in the middle of some project with expected government guaranteed profits.

Two Republican Senators try to educate a silly, ignorant left wing extremist about the WASTE of TRILLIONs of $ for a guaranteed ZERO return on the so called investment.
But they should’ve clearly stated that all the data proves that Humans now live in the safest world over the last 300,000 years.
Human flourishing had never existed until Britain started the industrial revolution about 250 years ago and everyone should be taught these facts from Kindergarten to University.
And then spend the now wasted trillions of $ on better health care, better roads, better nutrition etc and plan for a much more prosperous future.

Coal, don’t these foreigners realise that to achieve net zero emissions and transition to so called renewable energy natural gas turbine generator plants are now the new direction.
Ask Albanese Labor Australia all about it, and ask state governments about compensation to coal fired power station owners to extend generating periods past scheduled closure dates.
It’s back to the future time.

Used to say of the Biden administration, if they are seeking to destroy the US what would they do differently?
I have the same feelings about the current government. Debt, housing, energy, defence, immigration all staggering from one ad hoc policy to the next.
