Wow! 2600 GW total by year’s end! That’s *twice* as much as the whole US uses! But it’s really amazing that half of that will be renewables, which is a very commendable achievement since China’s renewables have grown a huge amount very quickly. The only sad part is that so much of the total is from the worst form of generation, coal. What’s even worse is that the rest of the world is so dependent on China for so much of its goods. It would be nice if we could just say we’re not going to buy anything made in China that was made with fossil fuel power. Anything to incentivize them to get rid of the coal power plants! 😢<\/p>\n
