Good, but the US should do better. I would support outlawing new construction of non-renewable energy. And strict timelines for utilities to become renewable.
I think we’re past the point when we should just “encourage” or incentivize clean energy. We need to DEMAND it.
First thing I see on this chart is China understanding the next several decades of energy. Second this I see is corporate America willingly fuck the next few generations with their problems by refusing to to put lives before profits.
Disagree, diversification is important, we don’t know what tomorrow holds.
Better to have a mix of both than just 1
Seems like those projected numbers are wildly out of line with the trend.
A lot of China growth and a lot of ¯\(ツ)/¯ growth.
Because the price of solar is going down rapidly and China is actively mining huge amounts of the raw materials necessary to produce solar panels. The amount of solar energy produced will increase very quickly as it will become (by far) the cheapest option and no longer requires subsidies.
Here in California our power companies are fighting really hard to stop this. Repealing net energy metering and charging huge minimums for the privilege of feeding excess energy back to the grid. Its insane.
Somehow China will double installations, or very nearly, 1 year then have ~20% increase over the next 7. I think their projection is wrong.
