Latest Xinhua News: To accelerate the achievement of carbon emission targets, address climate change, and build an environmentally friendly society, the State Council had issued a document calling for greater efforts to speed up the "coal reduction plan." Over the next decade, coal production would be gradually reduced while clean energy would be vigorously promoted...
Global Times reported that the capital had launched the "coal reduction plan" with great force and would gradually use nuclear power to replace coal-fired generation, in order to fulfill the carbon reduction commitment it had made at the climate conference...
The sudden news from Huaxia's authorities drew considerable attention.
It was not merely a sweeping coal reduction plan. When announcing the report on the plan, they had also strongly advocated the construction of nuclear power plants. It was obvious that they intended to gradually replace traditional thermal power generation and conventional energy sources with nuclear power.
Such a resolute attitude toward "coal reduction" surfaced almost every so often, but there had never been a plan so firm and large-scale. Many people were baffled by this development. Influenced by the news, coal prices in global commodity trading began to fluctuate.
People found it strange. Why had Huaxia's authorities suddenly made such a bold plan?
At present, thermal power generation was still Huaxia's primary source of electricity. The plan called for a sweeping reduction in thermal power generation in merely ten years, supposedly to fulfill carbon reduction commitments. Few believed that Huaxia would slow its development for such a reason.
That was precisely why the outside world found it even more puzzling.
Various parties had no choice but to question whether Huaxia truly had the ability to resolve its electricity supply problem after reducing coal production. Huaxia's plan could not possibly genuinely affect its own development
