Who Gave China Bad Directions?

In an attempt to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, China opened its largest ever coal burning power plant on Friday.
Wait, Does that sound right?
The four (ginormous) units that make up the plant became fully operational at a time when China is roughly 70% dependent on coal-burning for their energy. The overall economy of China is struggling as a whole to be 20% more energy efficient by 2010.
In the plants defense, (Yeah I'm going there), Xinhua news agency said, "the new power plant is using 'ultra-supercritical technologies,' reducing carbon dioxide emissions drastically compared with more traditional technologies."
A brand new high tech way of burning coal and emitting enormous amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere. I'm loving the sounds of that! Source.
