In Coal We Trust: The Need For Coal Power In Asia

The claim that aggressive climate change mitigation programs helps the poor is egregiously misleading.
The coal industry will remain essential to human flourishing long into the future, and reports of its impending death have been greatly exaggerated.

The reigning narrative of impending global environmental catastrophe dominates the airwaves and print media. Short of a drastic reduction in the use of fossil fuels, it is asserted, we are fast approaching the “end of days”. The demonization of fossils fuels in general, and coal in particular, has been wrought under pressure from special interests groups and organized lobbies of the climate-industrial complex where aspects of economic reality are caricatured or presented out of context. Complex trade-offs in energy policy are spun into tales of spurious simplicity, leading to misleading conclusions. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the debate over the role of coal-fueled power generation in Asia.

Opposition to the building of coal power plants in the poorer countries has been justified by environmental activists, banks and multilateral development agencies such as the World Bank in two key ways. The first revolves around the claim that climate change mitigation programs carry “co-benefits” for public health in developing countries. The second utilizes the assertion that renewable energy such as solar and wind power are effective substitutes for centralized grid electricity generated by fossil fuels.

Climate change policy does not help the poor

The claim that aggressive climate change mitigation programs helps the poor is egregiously misleading. Modern coal plants are a success story, as pollutants emitted have fallen dramatically with technological improvements over the past several decades. Key pollutants that adversely affect human health include carbon monoxide, lead, sulfur dioxide (SO2), oxides of nitrogen (NOX), ground level ozone and particulate matter (PM). A new pulverized coal plant, with flue gas scrubbers, fabric filters, catalytic reduction and other control equipment and processes, reduces NOX by 83%, SO2 by 98% and PM by 99.8% compared to a similar plant without such pollution control features, according to the US Department of Energy.

Ambient air pollution in both urban and rural areas in developing countries is a real problem, but it is primarily due to the indoor burning of solid biomass in cooking and heating. The use of charcoal, wood, dung and crop residues within households is caused by the lack of access to grid electricity and modern fuels such as LPG. The World Health Organisation reports that close to 4 million people die prematurely from illness attributable to indoor air pollution each year. The real solution, as apparent in the experience of the now developed countries, is to remove the need for using traditional biomass by providing affordable electricity and cleaner fuels. Coal power plants also lay the basis for improved public health with adequate clean water supply and refrigeration for food supply chains and the storage of vaccines in hospitals.

Bax: we should all meet up and write a script one day

Mick: I think we all know who is sticking their thumb up Behuge.....Behuge!

Jupes: this is my only investment. I'm not an investor and I wouldn't bother again after this..... unless it comes good ha ha

[zippy123456] 28/6/2019 10:37

Have to be honest I didn't bother but have now.

Now at least the low life won't ruin one second of my day.

As we both said yesterday will give this to end of July, if nothing develops (and I doubt very much it will) I am selling up and will try my luck elsewhere.

May have to put the boat on hold for a few months, and keep my fingers crossed whatever share I buy next, there won't be one of these muppets sniffing around.

Green light means this could go up very quick, however no green light soon and this could drop massively.

Funny you mention a sitcom about characters on here.

There used to be a poster who created cartoons based on the main characters here back in the day.

You still about Jeweller? Anyone still got the links to Steves cartoons?

Quick poll.

Serious question.

Who on here DOESNT have Behuge on filter?

Clearly he is very popular as ALL his posts get multiple thumbs up and I know the regular posters don't entertain him as most of us have him filtered.


This should be interesting.

RE: Chinese can’t understand them..Today 16:24Because ?..think about it.the main holders know what's happening there not selling.



Kilkenny 🤔"

AAOG currently 5p and dropping like a stone. No holding RNS to say Kilkenny left so they are possibly currently looking at about a 50% loss of their £2m. Maybe them selling GCM wasn't as significant as we thought.

[jayviper] 28/6/2019 09:08

And amongst the sensible adult conversation is a peppering of filtered Behuge bolagnaise all with thumbs up ha ha.

Could write a sitcom based on some of the characters on these boards I swear

[zippy123456] 28/6/2019 09:00

It wont do any good Jay unfortunately.

No doubt my last post will also get removed, still can’t get my head around the fact that LSE let this moron write what he wants, but throws decent people like ourselves off.

Keep smiling !!

80bn investment needed....GCM will BEHUGE


Bangladesh sees highest ever power generation

Earlier on May 21, the country witnessed the second highest power generation of 12,057MW


The Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) registered a whopping 12,893 megawatt (MW) production on Wednesday night, setting a new record for the country.

According to the BPDB sources, the record-breaking generation took place against the forecasted demand of 14,796MW at 9pm, followed by the previous highest production of 12,539MW on May 21.

Bangladesh’s power sector first crossed the 12,000MW mark on the June 24, with the third highest generation of 12,057MW.

Prior to that, 11,534MW was the maximum power generation recorded on September 17 last year, with the previous highest generation being 11,387MW on July 18. Bangladesh’s power sector touched the 11,000MW mark on July 7 the same year.

Earlier, Bangladesh crossed the 10,000MW mark for the first time on March 19, 2017, before which the country generated 9,000MW of power for the very first time on June 30, 2016.

As of Wednesday, Bangladesh’s installed power generation capacity, including captive power and renewable energy, is 21,419 MW.

The BPDB has taken up an extensive capacity expansion plan to add about 11,600 MW over the next five years, aiming to generate 24,000MW of electricity by 2021, and 40,000MW by 2030, for which a mammoth investment of around $80 billion is needed.

The massive investment plan is also meant to provide uninterrupted power supply, Power Division officials said, adding that the government is committed to ensuring 100% electricity coverage by 2021. Currently, 90% of the population has access to electricity.
