Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

the fact developers are making proposals does not imply they'll actually get approved

The vast majority of such proposals are getting approved, and the report finds that the approvals for coal power “continue to reflect expectations of high operating hours."

This comes as China already burns more than half of the world's coal, and it has been increasing its coal production as well as its coal imports and coal consumption. A record of 95GW were already added to the grid last year and another 291GW are in the pipeline. These Chinese coal plants are already operating, and they are large-scale units.

According to the co-authors, this is the “reverse of what we see outside China, where roughly two-thirds of proposed coal capacity never makes it to construction”.

Therefore, the assumption that China having a decentralized grid of renewables is simply wrong.
