This is a huge amount of coal generation.

China’s construction of coal-fired power plants reaches highest in a decade

Report of 94.5GW of capacity being added last year undermines vow to start reducing carbon emissions by 2030

And during that time:

China a Failed State and a Rogue State to the rest of the World

Also China supplies everything. No one wants that smoke. yes , especially that , China has a massive navy , but to us they just look like container vessels ( carrying everything we need , but are too lazy to make locally )

Australia swapping a fossil fuel long term..aka centuries , unsustainability for immediate economic slavery.....

94.5GW

To put that into perspective:

Eraring = 2.88GW

Loy Yang A = 2.21GW
Loy Yang B = 1.17GW

Depending on whether one takes LY A and B to be one facility or two, either Eraring or Loy Yang is Australia's largest coal-fired power station.

For clarity there LY A and B are separate as such but they're right next to each other and both using coal that comes from the same mine up the same conveyors. An engineer sees them as separate since in that sense they are, but anyone looking at politics or macro economics would likely see them as one operation.

Eraring also has a 42MW gas turbine at the same site although that's operationally separate to the rest and is burning diesel not coal. This was added after the original construction and brings total site capacity to 2.922GW

,yeap, 30 of these built just last year in China and India probably did better

Wow 8 months to build a mega factory.
At least our raw materials aren't going to waste, we get them back as batteries.
