You are correct sir. People who are saying good leaders alone will solve the problems are only partially right. Good leaders under a defective structure like Nigeria will not achieve anything. It is like planting a good seed in a bad soil.

You get it

Stop spreading most misinformation. Coal power is cheap. Most US electricity comes from coal. Most of China's electricity comes from coal.

But if you guys say because it is largely in Enugu ( Igbo Land) it will not be used for electricity and we will remain in darkness competing for scarce gas, no problem. Let's stay like that na. Shebi na all of us dey suffer am?!

Fuxk! Does everything have to be tribal for fuxks sakes?

Coal is out dated, we have abundant gas everywhere that will do the same job efficiently without polluting the earth

Lol what's the cost of building a 5000mw coal plant compare that to gas turbine

OjukwuWarBird:


Close your mouth

Coal power is cheap but environmentally unfriendly.

I would advice we go for Biogas power systems and decentralize electricity sector

Building coal plant far more expensive compared to both gas and hydro
Get your facts right

Bad leadership.

No. its bad followership ,the people do not desire it, they are not hungry for the good things of life that is taken for granted in other clime. they have mortgage their future and well being for the convinence of their uncaring leaders. you can see some ordinary Nigerians clamouring for the return of buhari and other underperforming governor despite their abysmal performance without adding an inch value to anybody shows the value such dumb masses place on their own life, welfare and happiness. so the followers are to blame

People like those Idiots that are Buhari's online miscreants won't come here and talk on matter of progressives.

Don't have time for debate

For Igbo coal haters, the article below will show how coal is seen in the US:

10 reasons why coal is a good energy source:
Cheapest source of energy. It is by far cheaper than nuclear, natural gas, oil. Hydro usually will be slightly cheaper. However, problems with hydro include: no new facilities because of public outcry when river valleys are dammed; and, peak demand time problems (rivers running dry in the dead of summer when peak air conditioning is needed and rivers are frozen in the dead of winter when peak heating is needed).

Coal also provides a stable source of energy (no Arab oil embargoes, no sudden scarcity like you experience with natural gas) and there is a very plentiful supply both in the U.S. and in other foreign countries.

Coal is nothing more than ancient wood which has been under pressure for millions of years. It is not sinister as you may have been led to believe.

Coal provides many jobs. Unlike other forms of energy (nuclear, natural gas, oil, hydroelectric), coal provides many jobs in removing coal from the earth, transporting it to the utility, burning it, and properly disposing of coal ash.

Coal is American made. We do not have to import this product into this country.

Coal can be mined and burned with little environmental impact. There has been tremendous strides in environmental responsibility with mining coal and burning coal. However, there still is pressure of global warming. If we burn less fossil fuels, what, as a practical matter, is our energy alternative? Nuclear? Hydro? Solar (there is no practical way to provide the massive amounts of electricity needed to run our country through solar energy---it is viewed as impractical at this time)?

Coal mining reclamation can give the surface landowner many more options for developing his land. In the mountainous terrain, a mining process call mountaintop removal can create very valuable and useable level land for the surface owner. The surface owner not only gets his land developed, he usually is paid 50 cents a ton for the inconvenience of the use of his surface. Surface mining cannot occur without the specific consent of the surface owner. If the surface owner is lucky enough to own the coal rights, he's looking at another $2.00 a ton for royalty payments. In 1977 the federal Surface Mining Law was passed that required coal operators to reclaim the land in an equal, if not better, condition that existed prior to mining. We're doing an excellent job with our reclamation efforts. I would suggest that you go to http://www.osmre.gov/. This is the web site of the federal agency that oversees coal mining from an environmental standpoint.

The prudent us of coal will allow the U. S. the time needed to develop viable alternative energy sources---primarily solar technology and fuel from grain---without any negative impact on our national economy.

Coal provides 56% of the electricity used in the nation each day. It provides 95% of Kentucky's electricity. Electrical rates in Kentucky are the second lowest in the nation---because of coal.

Coal is good for Kentucky's economy. The Kentucky coal industry brought $3.1 billion into Kentucky from out-of-state during Fiscal Year 1996-97 through coal sales to customers in 29 other states and 15 foreign countries. In Kentucky, it paid over $800 million in direct wages, directly employing over 19,000 persons and indirectly providing an additional 60,000 jobs. In addition to all the normal business taxes, the coal industry in Kentucky paid an additional $160 million in severance taxes to the state.

You obviously can't think.

US and China already built up coal thermal stations decades ago. They are carefully decommissioning these stations in favor of cleaner and cheaper alternatives . A gas thermal station is cheaper to build and operate on the long run. It's simple economics.

The mind is a terrible thing to waste on ignorant tribalism

"Trying to". I like that phrase. Is coal China's biggest source of electricity or not, Mr over sabi? You are only "trying to" fool yourself that you are not a tribalistic bigot. Clear from the way, joor!

That is why I don't believe in Nigeria but Biafra.

Nigerians are filled with ethnic hate for each other

to give power to 180 million people is not a child's play

EXAGGERATED 180MILLION.CHINA IS UPTO 1.5BILLION WITH CONSTANT LITE

WE NEED NEW BREED OF POLITHIEFCIANS.... COUNTRIES LIKE JAPAN,CHINA ARE RUNNING ELECTRIC/SOLAR CARS,TRAIN,AND AEROPLANE

AnodaIT:

Because China decentralized its electricity grid, each region generates and and distributes its own power

Until we restructure, we are going nowhere

so you want the east that have coal to have electricity while other part of the country with no resources to generate electricity to remain in darkness. one Nigeria is not negotiable.

femicyrus:

Use your brain for once

Coal can be transported and used all over the country. Just like tomatos that come from the north are transported and distributed around the country.

Tribalistic thinking like this will kill us. This is exactly what I was talking about earlier. We're so concern about a tribe/region "overtaking" another.

femicyrus:

And your small brain cannot understand that if states generate their power, they would have more than excess to sell out

For God sake, must u tribalise everything? Is Enugu the only place with coal? What about other issues confronting the nation, is it about tribe too?

The same tribalistic tendency that pushed your forefather to that 1966 coup is still disturbing your lots....

The January 1966 coup was not an Igbo coup, but a coup to bring Awolowo to power. Get your facts right before you wear cap of 'detribalized concerned citizen'.

It's an Igbo coup!!!

"And following
the coup, the Igbo in the North became too celebrative;
dancing and singing to a Rex Lawson song and telling
their Hausa neighbors that the bleating of a goat in the
song was Ahmadu Bello (the most important Hausa/
Fulani leader) howling like a goat as he was being killed
by Major Nzeogwu. It was the discriminatory killings and
gratuitous mockery of the memory of their most important
leader, amongst other reasons, that set the stage for the
July 1966 anti-Igbo coup and the attendant anti-Igbo riots"

Many Igbos died defending Ladoke Akintola in the North once when he visited. But I don't expect you to know this, for your knowledge of history is only skindeep. So also is your sense of decency.
