That air quality improved at all amid sharp increases in fossil fuel consumption during this winter is an achievement for environmental regulators, but clearly the increase in dirty energy continues to hamper China's fight against air pollution.

This piece borders on misinformation as it fails to even mention that domestic coal production fell 4% in the first quarter and that's the obvious driver of imports. Most remarkably, it completely fails to mention solar and wind which are now delivering most if not all power…
I was very happy to see @clearroads letter on the apparent contradiction between China's carbon neutrality goal and tidal wave of new coal power construction published on the @FT. As I only managed to comment on it after he sent it in, I thought I'd share my additional comments…

To supply low-carbon power to a grid via nuclear, solar, wind, or grid batteries, how much material must we dig up to build those power plants? Answer: far less than for fossil fuels, with nuclear needing the least mining. New @TheBTI report by my team: thebreakthrough.org/issues/energy/…

@laurimyllyvirta @Mcb18125448 Probably all the numbers in this thread is not correct as the solar panels get thinner all the time and the panel producers do not use the average mix of the grid.
⚡️ US House passes bill to seize Russian assets for Ukraine. The bill would allow the President to confiscate Russian sovereign assets and transfer them to Ukraine to aid in its reconstruction efforts. The bill still needs to be approved by the Senate.
@DustinMulvaney @laurimyllyvirta Those numbers are probably off by a lot too, highly probable they’re behind the times of technology and what goes into a panel these days in terms of total polysilicon.
The emissions “payback period” on solar production is <3 months (~80 days) if you are replacing coal. Over a 25-year useful life, that’s a >100x payback. The “manufacturing solar panels is dirty!” narrative is such a shortsighted red herring given how high the emissions RoI.
Producing solar panels in China does cause CO2 emissions, so let's have a look. 560 GW of solar panels were produced in China over the past 12 months. Emissions from solar panel production in China are estimated at 250 kg/kW by the IEA. That means solar panel production was…
