New Natural Gas Power Plants in Turkmenistan

Apparently, the power needs of Turkmenistan are going through the roof, and GE will be building facilities to use their “aeroderivative” natural gas turbines to supply this need.  This leaves the reader wondering: were any renewable resources at least considered?  The concept isn’t mentioned once in the entire article.

Obviously, there is no path to the rapid reduction in the use of fossil fuels, but I do predict a change in public consciousness where renewable resources are the first choice for the development of new power plants.
