Good!
Their net coal capacity grew by 48 gw in 2023 alone. They need a shitload more solar than this just to stop accelerating their coal dependency.
You could take back all the manufacturing done for your country’s company to help them get there faster. Or is it just their problem when you can just profit off of it? coal or otherwise.
I’m sure _stranger_ here will single-handedly reindustrialise his country, since it’s his fault China is using coal for the industry he forced upon it
Let’s face it, capitalism is a cancer, but I am actually happy to see a billion people inching towards greener energy. Every gigawatt counts.
What is the advantage of an 8GW solar farm compared to say 100 80MW farms? The smaller ones should be distributed over more land, cancelling out clouds and do not interrupt the landscape nearly as much as the large one.
China Three Gorges says that the enormous integrated energy site’s power will be dispatched to the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei cluster in northern China via an ultra-high voltage power transmission line.
These are build in the desert and power is transmitted via a single large transmission line.
It’s probably easier to do so from a planning and regulatory standpoint, but I agree that otherwise it would be wiser to have them closer to the end users.
That makes sense.
