They can thank the American industry for shipping production there in search of cheap labor
China has 4x the people of the US, about 3.8x the solar installs. Seems right on target. Coal is about 50% of China’s electric source, while only 16% in the US; China sure has some catching up to do to get clean.
One of the advantages of China’s state capitalism model is they can deploy resources toward major goals in a much more targeted way than other models.
It’s a bit like the US during WW2 except toward solar panels and EVs etc. and it is paying off.
America needs to step up our game on infrastructure.
Okay, please show the same graph, but for coal power plants in place of solar.
