Background
According to a 2012 survey by World Resources Institute, approximately 350 coal plants are at some stage of development in China, totaling 557,938 megawatts (MW) of capacity. As shown in the table below, proposed plants are concentrated most heavily in the provinces of Inner Mongolia (113 plants), Xinjiang (24 plants), Anhui (21 plants), Gansu (29 plants), Ningxia (23 plants), and Shaanxi (39 plants). Coal Consumption has grown over 500% in the last few decades, and now represents three quarters of the consumption in Asia. The rise in coal consumption has coincided with an increase of lung cancer since 1970, which is now a leading cause of death in China.
