If all nine plants planned by the Chinese government were built, they would emit 21 billion tons of carbon dioxide over a typical 40-year lifetime, seven times the greenhouse gas that would be emitted by traditional natural gas plants. They] will lock in high greenhouse gas emissions, water use and mercury pollution for decades.
