What AEP Forgot to Tell You About China

From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT

By Paul Homewood

For some reason, AEP forgot to mention this in his article the other day!

While AEP was praising China to the sky, claiming that “China that is running away with the prize” of decarbonisation, the next day his colleague at the Telegraph, Jonathan Leake, told the truth:

Ed Miliband may be agonising over the success of net zero but Xi Jinping has no such scruples.

In a bid to meet soaring electricity demand, the Chinese premier is overseeing plans to burn more coal than ever before – increasing the country’s annual usage by an extra 75m tonnes.

The planned increase in coal production will undoubtedly strengthen China’s position as the world’s biggest source of greenhouse gases, with the country already emitting the equivalent of 15bn tonnes of carbon a year – almost a quarter of the world’s total.

The coal-burning country killing the case for net zero

Maybe AEP would like to explain why China needs all this coal, now they have got all these super cheap solar panels!
