Wonders of coal

I read an international headline this week that said something like “Thai govt approves coal burning plant for tourist area”. That should do wonders for the tourist industry.

It was not long ago that this government promised the world to cut back on Thailand’s greenhouse emissions by 20% by 2030. It appears that the plan is to wait until 2029 to try to fulfill that promise.

According to articles that I have read in the last two months, wind and solar generated power are both going to become cheaper than coal generated power in 2017, so it seems rather foolish to build another coal powered electricity generating plant anywhere now. BYSTANDER
