While they have cancelled a number of projects, they are still planning to increase coal electric output from 920 GW to 1100 GW.

Of course the economics of shipping coal to China seem very problematic. I am amazed though at the number of countries that both import and export coal (for example Netherlands imports 7 M short tons of coal from us but exports $3B in coal - are they importing it and then selling it to the rest of Europe?).
