Tesla has signed an agreement to build a factory in Shanghai

What set power cost? Do you think the production line will have its own dedicated coal plant, not connected to the grid? That hardly seems efficient. It won't solve the problem of variable power demand from everything/everyone else anyway, just increase the minimum.

You're looking at it backwards anyway. Does having cheaper power when the wind is blowing and the sun is shining make the coal more or less expensive? When the sun is shining or the wind is blowing power will be cheaper, when it's not it wont make the coal any better. Gas, hydro and batteries will all be much more use than coal for dealing with solar and wind variability. Coal is on its last legs.

Land can be patented? I wish I'd thought of this sooner.
We should just be grateful Apple aren't claiming to have invented it I suppose.

No silly little boy, You have been shown over and over how it peaked in 2013. And your lie after lie were pointed out back then too.

Iv'e been pounding it into your head over and over that Chinese coal is more efficient than American coal and the new plants are more efficient than the old ones. Glad you are finally at long last starting to realise.
Though I never said they were twice as efficient, that's just complete stupidity you made up for yourself. Even your made up 1.5x is a complete joke of a number.

All you can ever do is lie and make shit up, don't you get tired of appearing so completely clueless and foolish at every turn?

No you lie yet again. I explained to you China was replacing old coal plants with new more efficient ones. Now you pretend you thought of it, but still get it wrong. Amount of coal burned and how efficiently it's done is the point, not how many plants. You already know most of those plants will be run at even less capacity than the old ones, because less coal is being used for electricity in China.

Whats the capacity of American and Chinese coal plants again? Thats right both about half, so even replacing them 1 for one with new plants the same size will still allow a doubling of coal. So you idea is just nonsense right from the start.

That you think China isn't into hydro shows your complete ignorance on this whole topic. China has more hydro than every other country has total electricity except for 2 countries (India and America).
