China is cementing its position as the global leader in renewables development with
180 GW of utility-scale solar and 159 GW of wind power already under construction1 .
The total of the two is nearly twice as much as the rest of the world combined, and
enough to power all of South Korea, according to new data from Global Energy Monitor
(GEM). The 339 GW of utility-scale solar and wind that have reached the construction
stage accounts for one-third of all proposed wind and solar capacity in China, far
surpassing the global construction rate of just 7%, according to GEM’s latest Global
Solar Power Tracker and Global Wind Power Tracker updates2. The stark contrast in construction rates illustrates the active nature of China’s commitment to building
renewables projects.

China is/was the global leader in coal energy plants. They move fast, faster than any other nation for change.

How many gigawatts of heat is China’s solar industry releasing as a by product of electricity generation, from dark solar panels?

Good for them, if they transition successfully its good for the world too. Ugh I just wish my home country India did something.

Interesting how Germany, the big advocate or renewables and so proud of getting rid of nuclear, is being outbuilt on wind by nations that have nuclear.
Probably because Germany is more committed to NIMBY than it is to tackling climate change.

And this is why it is so easy to get confused between „wind turbine“ and „military drone“ when shipping things abroad…

The largest reason being because it is the cheapest source which might make them superior when AI will only be constricted by amount of energy and cost of energy but these fucking climate deniers doesn’t understand they are not just screwing up the climate but also every wester countries competitive. If you do not believe in climate change and just love nuclear power, think about that we need cheap electricity.

Let’s hope they move to green energy production fast enough, because they’re also one of the main pollutors

China lies constantly, paints grass green or sprays disinfectant throughout a city and surely is only educating oeigurs but here we are; they are for sure leading the planet in the one thing they never cared about

Hopefully it makes up for the decrease in capacity we’ll have after Trump takes office in November.
Imagine letting China lead the world in such an important issue. Talk about dropping the ball.
