Undeniably good news. Hopefully their electricity consumption figures follow suit soon. I know they’re working on enhancing transmission and energy storage to make sure that renewable production doesn’t go to waste.
The per capita electricity consumption will likely increase in the coming years, but compared to developed nations it is still low. Developing storage tech will be important for everyone as wind and solar are so weather dependent. Hope they figure it out, China’s development of solar production has already been a boon to cheaper solar panels in the world.

This is admirable news. I wonder if the US will eventually move more in this direction. I’m not especially hopeful, but trying not to be a total doomer
I really hope so, but as in China, it will require massive state funding and direction that I’m just not sure the US is willing to commit to. The US makes so much money from fossil fuel it would require taking a hatchet to a part of the economy that pays lobbyists and politicians handsomely.
Just get rid of citizens united as a first step.
