This is very difficult to comprehend. That’s about a quarter of all the electricity that the US uses! That’s equivalent to 300 full-size power plants! Incredible! Assuming that the wind turbines are 10 MW each, that would be 30,200 wind turbines. https://electrek.co/2021/12/03/chinas-offshore-wind-growth-soars-with-more-than-300gw-installed/
