Over the past ten years, China's economy rate has grown by 10% and in 2010 became the worlds biggest consumer of energy. It burns as much coal as the rest of the world, accounting for 47% of worldwide consumption.
"Research out last November suggested that 1,000 new coal-fired power plants are planned worldwide, with 363 in China and 455 in India. If all the plants were built, it would put the world on "a really dangerous trajectory" for climate change, experts at the World Resources Institute said." The Guardian Online, 30/01/13
