<p>According to several industry publications, China's electrical grid is challenged because demand for electric energy has grown faster than generation and transmission capabilities. Actually, although it probably differs in magnitude, their problem is not unlike the challenges generators in the United States face. Whether the constraints have had any impact on the industry's ability to supply power to the rail system is unknown. </p> <p>China generates approximately 75 per cent of its power from coal, compared to roughly 48 per cent in the United States. It has approximately 448 GW of coal fired generation. Moreover, China has under construction the largest number of new coal fired steam electric stations of any country. They are getting flack from the environmental community for building more coal plants, in part because their plants are not as clean as America's coal fired power plants. </p> <p> </p>
