China Sticks Two Fingers Up To Climate Change

As COP 26 approaches: China orders coal mines to increase production by tens of millions of tonnes to counter national power crisis. Reducing Beijing’s dependence on fossil fuels shelved, at least temporarily. China gets 13% of electricity from renewables, 60% from coal.

The Global Energy Crisis

 

EUROPEAN ENERGY CRUNCH: More and more evidence is emerging of industrial consumers shutting down in Europe due to high electricity and gas prices. The latest: Spanish steel maker Sidenor plans to stop production 20 days from now until Dec 31 (that's equal to ~30% of the time).

The British media, in their desperation to stir the shit, would have us believe that the ongoing rises in energy prices are down to a combination of Brexit and Boris.

Yet, cast your eyes abroad and you can see that the problem is global.

For why?

A number of reasons, including:

- China buying large amounts of LNG

- China cutting back on its coal production (green policies and flooding) 

- Russia playing silly buggers with gas supplies because of its long running dispute with the EU over Nord Stream 2 and Europe not wanting long term contract with Gazprom

- Covid screwing with supply chains 

- The rush to go Green, without having the necessary capacity etc.
