Thursday, May 29 - 2008 at 09:20

One factor that is causing Beijing to boost its oil imports is that power plants across the country have been hit by a serious shortage of coal. The government says The State Electricity Regulatory Commission says 32 power plants have been shut down for lack of sufficient coal.
