I'm under huge time constraints this week, so there will be minimal blogging.
A lot of interesting data points. Link to the article here.
China generated 53% of the world's total coal-fired power during 2020, the only G20 nation to see a major increase in its coal-fired generation.
The Chinese Problem: Despite China's installation of 71.7 gigawatts (GW) of wind power and 48.2 GW of solar energy last year, coupled with the Chinese government's pledge to reduce its coal dependency, the country nonetheless saw its coal-fired generation increase by 77 terawatt-hours (TWh) from its 2015 level of (sic) 44%, according to a report from the London-based energy and climate research organization Ember.
Did Phil mean to say that China's coal-fired generation has increased by almost half since 2015? If so, wow.
