Is China Headed for an Energy-Fueled Recession? - Marc Porat

Does that mean they will want the USA to pepay our debt to them?? I just read that China emits more CO2 then the USA by at least 8%. Germany has the most wind turbines but are now building 26 new coal plants and Europe as a whole is going back to fossil fuels. Why are we at this time going to close down our coal plants. Obama said he would bankrupt coal companies and he is on his way. America is already bankrupt and now we are all being sold out in the name of politics. Cap& Trade is a tax.

We have no energy crisis. we have a economic crisis. we dont produce good things. the need to keep selling products motivates the production of products that wear out sooner than necessary. produce products that last and you cut tremendously on manufacturing energy, transportation energy.

it's easy to say you don't care about nuclear leakage when the plant is not anywhere near you.

the chinese government has been frantically building dams and hydroplants on every river they can find. there's been complaints about its impact on the local biodiversity and local people's traditional livelihood, but really, what can you do.

I've always been under the impression that nuclear technology is not cost efficient, also I don't like the idea of all that waste and the increased dangers of another chernobyl or terrorist attack.

Efficiency of technology will most likely offset the need for greater supply. You will have the same amount of fuel but over time you get more from that same supply.

50 years is a long time. You can make a lot of windmills with solar panels on top in 50 years.

Coal is the biggest environmental threat.
