How many nuclear power plants in china?

Answer 1

An exact number of coal burning electric power plants is hard to come by. The on-line database compiled by the Center for Global Development includes emissions data from 50,000 power plants worldwide, unfortunately proprietary licensing agreements have prevented them from revealing the fuel sources of individual plants. Also China (PRC) is now building some 50 GW of coal-burning generators every year, or the equivalent of one large power plant per week.

According to the International Energy Agency (IEA, 2008) coal generated 41% of total world electricity in 2006. Also, according to the IEA the US generates about one quarter of the world's coal fired electricity (in 2007 about 2000 of 8000 TWh). Coal burning supplies PR China, the world leader in coal consumption, with 80% of its electricity.

According to more recent (2012) US Energy Information Administration data the US has about 350 coal burning generators producing about 1,500 TWh of electricity per year.
