2024-11-14 China World’s Largest Open Sea Offsore Solar Farm
China’s 1 GW first and largest offshore solar farm. Over 3000 acres sits 5 miles off the coast. China has plenty of empty land in the western part but most of the demand is in the eastern part, so they have had to build hugely massive and expensive transmission lines to get the power to

2024-02-10 China Says Wind, Solar Are About 40% Of Installed Power Generation
The 15 MW onshore wind turbine’s blades are the least of this news. The following is the big part of this story. Quote: “”The China Electricity Council said in its latest annual report that wind and solar would make up around 40% of the country’s installed power generation capacity by the end of 2024 –

2023-08-16 Solar PV Installations This Year, Over Half Are In China
Sam Evans tells us that global solar PV installations will total 360 GW, and 200 GW of that will be in China. And Wright’s Law will cause the solar PV to drop further in cost. The statistics he gives are very interesting. China has 1000 GW of coal power that must be replaced, and they

2023-07-01 China: Wind, Solar Growing Like Crazy, But Fossil Fuels, Too
As I said earlier, China already has 1000 GW of renewables and will soon have 1200 GW, approaching 30% of its total generation. That’s enormous – the whole US has 1300 GW generation total! The Chinese are building wind and solar as fast as they can, and are going to meet their promised goals even

2022-04-02 Wind & Solar 20% AGR Is Not Good Enough
This article doesn’t make sense! First they said that if renewables AGR stays at least 20% we will meet 1.5 degrees C. Then they said that solar and wind just covered the total growth in 2021!!!! We’re going nowhere! Just treading water! We need to get rid of coal! It’s the worst for pollution and

2022-03-20 Solar Panel Makers May Have A Materials Constraint
This article outlines the incredibly huge amount of solar panels that China is supplying to be installed, much of them in China. The figures are astounding! Quote: << Thus far, 24 of China’s 31 provinces and regions have set out five-year-plan renewables targets which include plans for 375-420GW of solar by 2025 – around 75-84GW
