Among China’s 30% of electricity consumption, nearly 60% is generated by coal, another 3% by fossil gas.

She seems caught up on the way to the bathroom, in hurry. What happened to her right arm?

The words I don’t know are more than those I know.

The pink words “ the loss of glaciers” is misleading. Maybe you mean “the remaining glaciers ?”

If the Energy Information Agency can do this, the open-data non-governmental-organizations can do it and will do it the best. Right? @globalenergymon.bsky.social

I’m thinking of those several dozens GM new gas plants relying on imported LNG in China’s coastal areas built after 2022 Russia-Ukraine war energy crisis. Are they foreseeing this to come? Did they think such crisis would not happen again? Are they too naively optimistic or simply too greedy?

More than 40 Middle East energy assets ‘severely damaged,’ IEA chief says The IEA’s Fatih Birol warned that damage to energy infrastructure across the Middle East would take some time to repair.

"...fallout from the Iran war is equivalent to the two major oil crises of the 1970s and the 2022 gas crisis “put together.”

Wow!

2026-2027 will feature accelerating global energy transition to non-fossil fuel generation, EVs, heat pumps, electrification.

In this case some context is needed for clarity.

No bird is beautiful when being chained.

刚刚继位的那位伊朗最高领袖，父亲，母亲，妻子都死于美国轰炸，他自己也多次被袭。这是什么？血海深仇啊！我不相信他会放下仇怨与美国媾和。只要这人活着，美国就没有安稳日子。即使他死了，也只是为这个家族多添了一笔血债。血债是没办法一笔勾销的。这和活捉马杜罗不可同日而语。

China still developing a big amount of LNG terminals. The receiving capacity will increase 60% when all constructions completed and can receive nearly 3 times more than 2025’s LNG imports. They are subjected for loss even before entering operation.

China’s LNG imports declined significantly in 2025 due to higher spot prices. The US/Israel-Iran war pushed the price going higher and also physically blocked the logistics flow. LNG does not make sense on both energy security and economy for China, especially when renewables grow so fast.

Now State Grid plans to build 15 DC UHV lines during 15th FYP period to support renewables. However, by 2030, the mega wind and solar bases in Northwest China are expected to transmit outward 315 GW. That means at least 21 lines required. State Grid may fail to meet needs even at the planning stage.

4 years ago China’ State Grid announced 380b RMB investment during the 14th FYP period to build 14 AC and 10 DC UHV lines. The result is, according to GEM, it invested 308.1 billion RMB and only completed 8 AC and 8 DC UHVs. Of these, only 3 DC UHVs were dedicated to renewable energy transmission.

4年前国家电网宣布将要在十四五期间投资3800亿元建设24交14直特高压线路。如今十四五已经过去，成绩如何？根据GEM的统计，国家电网十四五期间投资特高压3081亿元，建成了8交8直特高压线路。其中用于可再生能源传输的直流特高压只有3条，全部在十四五的最后一年2025年投产。不论从投产总量还是对可再生能源支持力度上看，都没有完成目标。最近又有消息称国家电网计划在十五五期间建设15条直流特高压以支持可再生能源外送。可问题是，到2030年西北地区风光大基地将要投产4.55亿千瓦，外送3.15亿。以现有一条线年传输180亿度电算，需要至少21条线才行。国家电网甚至在规划阶段就已经注定要完不成任务了。

AI: Does not compute Building fossil-fuel infrastructure to power data centers is a poor bet. Renewables are by far the cheaper, faster choice.

1/4 century ago, the coal industry warned that the Internet would overwhelm the grid without massive new coal capacity. Today, Gas and nuclear vendors that can’t beat energy efficiency and renewables in competitive markets are leveraging hype into mandates and subsidies to rescue their losers.

They are trying to escape from the human grip which makes them feel uncomfortable and threatened.

Trump to direct Pentagon to buy coal to revive industry, Bloomberg News says U.S. President Donald Trump is set to direct the Pentagon to use government funding and Pentagon contracts to sustain U.S. coal-fired power plants, Bloomberg News reported on Tuesday, citing a White H...

In his first term, Trump tried to promote new coal plant but it didn’t work. This time he changed tactics for the same goal. A dirty, outdated and dying industry doesn’t deserve taxpayers money.

分别看了两个人近几个月的posts，感觉都是有见识的人，虽有分歧但更有共识。不应该为非原则问题撕破脸皮恶语相向。

细致看了看双方几个月的帖子，感觉两个人的观点有分歧但没有敌对，并且在某些方面是有共识的。不应该这样说狠话撕破脸。

Wikipedia 说票房 $9.5 million，但投入$40 million.

But what can she get from a feeder? I remember woodpecker is worm/bug eater.

就是太冷啦！

China’s known as a renewable leader, less known it’s a coal giant, even less known it’s world No.2 gas power developer, even though gas only generates 4% of total power. GEM’s new data shows the US surpassed China in new proposals in 2025. A race to the bottom continues.

The US no longer has a target ! The administration withdrew from the Paris Agreement!

Explainer: Why gas plays a minimal role in China’s climate strategy - Carbon Brief While gas could play a role in decarbonising some aspects of China’s energy demand, multiple factors would need to change

Today's @carbonbrief.org explainer on gas in China featured @aiqun.bsky.social: "With the rapid expansion of renewables and ongoing geopolitical uncertainties, I don’t foresee a bright future for gas power.” 🔌

橙皮怪这个名字很有创意，哈哈。

Well, it turns out on Black Friday the Americans’ spending reached record high. Hard to explain. What is the major driver? Where’s their money from?

Always wonder where they are going to put their huge beak when sleeping. They probably can’t turn the head and stick the beak under the feather like a duck would do. Thanks for sharing!
