Setting the Benchmark: The World's Most Efficient CoalFired Power Plants. As the steam passes through each turbine module, the pressure decreases. These modules are referred to as the highpressure (HP), intermediatepressure (IP), and lowpressure (LP) turbine sections. Some turbine designs feature multiple IP or LP modules,...
Big Brown among 2 coalfired power plants scheduled to close. The Lone Star chapter of the Sierra Club applauded the closing of the plants. "Public health analyses have shown that pollution from Big Brown and Sandow cause or contribute to more than 6,400 asthma attacks, 187 premature deaths, and more than 151,000 lost or limited work days every year,...
Installed capacity of coal power plants worldwide as of 2018, by select country (in megawatts) As of 2016, China had the highest installed capacity from its coal power plants, amounting to 880 GW in total. The United States came in a distant second with over 300 GW of coal power plant capacity, followed by India at about 170 GW.
Wind is cheaper in some areas but not all. You can build a natural gas plant pretty much anywhere, you can't build a wind farm in just any random place. Ultimately as far as the future goes, we're either going to need some amazingly efficient storage sources or a blend of different power generation sources.

It's time to bite the bullet and build more coal fired power stations. Maybe public companies could be formed where retirees could invest their super funds to build new coal fire powered stations. Power from those stations would not be supplied to the Greenies, they can use unreliable renewables. Just a thought.
