Last year, the country approved the highest number of new coal-fired power plants since 2015, according to the report, released Monday by the Center for Research on Energy and Clean Air and the Global Energy Monitor . “China continues to be the glaring exception to the ongoing global decline in coal plant development,” said Flora Champenois, a research analyst at GEM.
China added a record 125 gigawatts of solar and wind capacity last year, making up 2% of the country’s electricity demand. And though that target is even higher this year, “even this increase won’t be sufficient to supply all of the demand growth without increasing power generation from fossil fuels,” said the report. It added that for China to truly cut down on carbon emissions, it needs to start phasing out its “vast coal power plant fleet” rather than continue growing it.
US & Europe are the No. 1 & 2 biggest polluters of the environment..Stop distorting facts the western media skewed typical narratives.. SHAME...
It's called lying, to gain a commercial advantage as manufacturing goes up and costs go down. Their ideology is polar opposite to ours... and the WEF wants to mimic the CCP...
E a Europa usando carvão ninguém fala vão acabar com o planeta
what about US
Now you understand why Trump left that Paris green deal shit
Economically it's very smart and gives them a huge advantage versus the West.
China don't give two hoots about climate. Never have never will.

The result of what happened to Russia is ... Chinese shouldn't trust westerns countries banks... And china should learn how to develop his local market.

allegedly they will have nuclear plants in 5 years...Where Canada, and the US might have them in 20 no 40 years..Thats funny you believe China
Yes... Everyone is. Biden has approved more permits for drilling for gas and oil, than the orange cheeto-man did.. The 'leaders' don't care. We're most likely gonna crash into the proverbial iceberg in ~ 29 years..
The destruction of nord stream 2 by US forced European countries to restart their power plans. Who is the evil?
