China to build 700 new coal power plants :(

[MagnaProp]

Say it isn't so. Came across this which I find a little depressing to say the least.

"...Overall, 1,600 coal plants are planned or under construction in 62 countries, said Urgewald, which uses data from the Global Coal Plant Tracker portal. The new plants would expand the world's coal-fired power capacity by 43 per cent.

The fleet of new coal plants would make it virtually impossible to meet the goals set in the Paris climate accord..."


So will these at lest be "clean coal" plants. If there is such as thing. Sounds like an oxymoron to me.
