<p>It is a broad term. VC is a subset of PE.<p>In medicine, it's a solution for someone who wants liquidity (buy kids new home, help local dog shelter, add a new mistress) and doesn't want to retire, yet.<p>The problem is that the terms are custom and YMMV as an existing patient of said practice.</p>

<p>Yeah, we've heard these:<p>* "More efficient, next gen coal plants"<p>* "Receiving capacity payments subsidies to stabilize grid"<p>* "We won't run these plants at full capacity"<p>When their carbon intensity still can't touch natural gas alternatives at scale, state owned enterprises are operating in a command economy, and they have no teeth to their carbon commitments.<p>They don't have to build new coal at 10:1 versus retirements to "replace aging coal" or stabilize the grid.<p>Coal is just too cheap and adds diversity,while nobody forces CN to enter climate agreements and looks the other way.</p>

<p><i>Also a lot of their emissions are from making things for the rest of the world.</i><p>That doesn't make it righteous and is a common critique of their coal powered PV manufacturing base.<p>They're playing games with carbon commitments with arbitrary reduction goals from undefined peaks. We can't trust them.<p>Meanwhile, they're currently building >200GW of new coal plants.</p>

2. And the university did an investigation and ruled it wasn't plagiarism.<p>Basically, the mom who will always love their ax murderer son.</p>
