Thanks for another great presentation. In the case of coal it would be interesting to see the total world consumption as as either a single number or a graph.
Not only - China can controll the whole world, as everyone is depending on their products. Russia tried to do that with Europe - but we already had sufficient renewable energy sources. Even if China becomes (completely/they just took over the production from other nations - so the world-net-output did not change so far, it just moved; in addition China is not planning so well, probably due to its size.) green - they still have no working democracy, and will not really care about others.
China's Green Energy Development Installed Capacity Total Renewable Energy Capacity: Over 1.3 billion kilowatts (kW), accounting for about 30% of the global total. Wind Power: Over 400 GW (world’s largest). Solar Power: About 500 GW (world’s largest). Hydropower: Over 400 GW (world’s largest).
Renewable Energy Power Generation: In 2023, China generated 2.7 trillion kilowatt-hours (kWh) from renewable energy, representing 32.5% of total electricity production. Solar power: Approximately 530 billion kWh, a growth of over 30% YoY. Wind power: Exceeded 650 billion kWh, with YoY growth of around 20%.
Nuclear Power Installed Capacity: About 56 GW by the end of 2023, ranking third globally. Nuclear energy accounts for 5% of China’s total electricity generation.
Key Comparisons Installed Scale: China’s wind and solar installed capacity is 3 times that of the U.S. and 2 times that of the EU. Clean Energy Structure: China focuses heavily on solar and wind energy, while nuclear energy contributes significantly more in the U.S. and EU. Grid Integration: The U.S. and EU have advanced green grid technologies with a renewable energy utilization rate of ~90%, while China’s rate is about 85%, constrained by storage and grid infrastructure.
Australia managed to reduce the use of coal (and lignite) in the last decade and has never used atomic. Reduction is due to using wind and solar. The solar is mainly on households.
16.2% of US electricity from coal in 2023. 675 B Kwhrs (or TWhrs) . YTD end of Sep 2023, US were at 516.6 and same point of the year in 2024 497.8, so still dropping just at a slower rate. The US actually used less electricity in 2023 than they did in 2022 but a bit.
Are these countries interested to adopt new clean technologies and save the investment? If yes the new undisclosed clean technology adoptable on coal plants is ready, it need reasonable time and within 25 years or less all these coal plants will generate electricity using clean power. Save the transmission lines investment needed with other technologies, save many other investments. Interested government must contact and start working on energy transition. Coal Mining workers must be directed on mining other minerals needed on economic developement. Otherways within 25 years these 20 countries must invest and build at least 100 wind turbine 5 MW each every day on the calendar years.
Some former coal and nuclear plants are being converted into battery banks. Solar and wind are now the cheapest sources of electricity but are intermittent. One needs to store energy when there is excess production to use at night and when the wind doesn't blow. Former power plants are excellent for this as they already have the transmission lines and land that would cost a pile to clean up for, say, residential use. Sometimes the existing generators can be converted into synchronous condensers at comparatively low cost. These are used to improve the power factor, which improves efficiency.
and because they're counting the rate per unit of time, you're strictly correct :) In American English people just use the 2 words interchangeably most of the time.
That's a good question. For the future of the planet, we must stop burning coal for energy. Completely. But most countries are lying and burning more and more coal, with the exception of 3 or 4 European countries and the USA.

The cost of energy storage is utterly huge to cope with the days of calm weather and no sun. For the UK the cost would be in the trillions.
