    (A couple of stories have popped up over the last couple of months that I wanted to post and discuss ... but then I remember ... and just let it go ... )

    <p>LOL I have been thinking about that. So fuck it, let's go in boots and all:</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p><a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://reneweconomy.com.au/2016/base-load-power-a-myth-used-to-defend-the-fossil-fuel-industry-96007'>http://reneweconomy.com.au/2016/base-load-power-a-myth-used-to-defend-the-fossil-fuel-industry-96007</a></p>
    <p> </p>

    <blockquote class="ipsBlockquote"><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:tahoma, geneva, sans-serif;font-size:13.3333px;">Last week, leading lights of the global fossil power industry gathered </span><a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://ceraweek.com/2016/'>at a conference</a><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:tahoma, geneva, sans-serif;font-size:13.3333px;"> in Houston, Texas, for CERA, known in the sector as the “Davos of Energy”. They reportedly got the shock of their professional careers.</span>
    <p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:tahoma, geneva, sans-serif;font-size:13.3333px;"> </p>
    <p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:tahoma, geneva, sans-serif;font-size:13.3333px;">They had invited the most senior executives from the biggest network owner (Chine State Grid Corp) in the biggest energy market in the world (China). The organisers fully expected their Chinese guest to endorse the “all of the above” marketing pitch, which is underpinning the “keep coal” campaign.</p>
    <p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:tahoma, geneva, sans-serif;font-size:13.3333px;"> </p>
    <p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:tahoma, geneva, sans-serif;font-size:13.3333px;">No such luck. Despite prodding by leading oil industry commentator Daniel Yergin, the chairman of State Grid Liu Zhenya <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.eenews.net/energywire/2016/02/26/stories/1060033055'>reportedly said</a> the “fundamental solution was to accelerate clean energy, with the aim of replacing coal and oil.”</p>
    <p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:tahoma, geneva, sans-serif;font-size:13.3333px;"> </p>
    <p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:tahoma, geneva, sans-serif;font-size:13.3333px;">Gasp number one. And then to more stunned silence, he and State Grid’s R&D chief Huang Han dismissed coal’s claim to be an indispensable source of “base load” generation.</p>
    <p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:tahoma, geneva, sans-serif;font-size:13.3333px;"> </p>
    <p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:tahoma, geneva, sans-serif;font-size:13.3333px;">As the network operator builds out its clean power sources, they noted, coal-fired generators could only serve as “reserve power” to supplement renewables.</p>
    <p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:tahoma, geneva, sans-serif;font-size:13.3333px;"> </p>
    <p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:tahoma, geneva, sans-serif;font-size:13.3333px;">“The only hurdle to overcome is ‘mindset’,” Liu said. “There’s no technical challenge at all.”</p>
    </blockquote>
    <p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:tahoma, geneva, sans-serif;font-size:13.3333px;"> </p>
    <p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:tahoma, geneva, sans-serif;font-size:13.3333px;"> </p>
    <p style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:tahoma, geneva, sans-serif;font-size:13.3333px;"> :lol: Not what they were expecting from China  :biggrin:</p>
