Sam (the Electric Viking) tells us about a Renewables futurist and how China is installing renewables that are the equivalent of five nuclear power plants *a week*!! China has surpassed 1 Terawatt of solar capacity in 2024. Global installed solar capacity has hit two terawatts! It took 68 years to reach 1 Terawatt Solar capacity,
