Agreed, but.
The past track records on nations in Asia and the Pacific is that they usually do not build the latest generation power plants.
Many have been going to coal power in recent decades which had led to a spike in coal sales from Australia. To such a degree there is now a huge battle over blasting a new channel through the Great Barrier Reef to support deepening a harbor for expanded coal exports. But that is another ecological nightmare for another day.
One example of this trend is Japan. While they have been using NG cars for decades on the island of Okinawa and various forms of solar and wind power for almost as long, it has taken Japan over 50 years to replace the post WW II era coal power plant on Okinawa with a modern natural gas plant. The unscrubbed plant would cast a reddish/yellow haze over parts of the island on the sunniest of days. Its a beautiful place except for the pollution.
All I was doing was asking a question. I would be delighted to hear they are building modern plants to charge these trikes if you can point me to the info.
I have always promoted and applauded cost effective changes and this seems like one of them. But it will be wasted money if they do not provide the other half of the equation.
Why is asking a question so offensive to you?
