My friend NEEDS to know this soon:

Why is China more dependant on coal than oil or gas?

PLEASE help!

The increasingly energy-thirsty China is expected to surpass Japan to become the world's second-largest crude oil importer in 2005. China's faster-than-expected growth in oil demand has lead to a huge shortfall in meeting its’ requirements from domestic production.

The shortfall of domestic oil production, combined with soaring energy use, forced China to become a net crude oil importer in the early 1990’s.

And well, as they can't use the oil (and gas, which is a product whn you dig for oil, for example) they use coal instead. Voilà!

*hurgs* Me and my friend love you Silja ^_^

*hurgs back* (hey, hurging is at least as cool as hugging) Well, I love you too, I think

I suppose some almighty-mod will be here faster than lightning to lock this... by nightfall, I hear that's when those critters are most active

How about an almost pitifully weak Admin?

And I dont think I'll lock this just yet. Somebody might have their own opinion on this economic lovelyness.

Kinda doubt it though..

I tend to throw all the people who can modify my posts at PPT into one category and the rest into the other one

And yes, you do have a point that someone might want to add an opinion or two here. And I'll agree with you again (!) that it's highly doubtful in any case.
