OIl power plants we don't need but coal we must build. If your total demand is 20,000MW and it increases by 10% a year, then you need 2,000MW extra every year. You cannot solve your problem by building small power plants. We need power plants that will add 1,000s of MW each year.
I read somewhere that by 2030 we will need 100,000MW. At the moment it is around 20,000 so that means we need 80,000 extra in about 20 years. So that means we must add 4,000 extra each year on average. |
