And the IEA, for its part, expects China to continue to be the sole meaningful over-achiever. It recently revised upwards by 728 GW its forecast for total global renewables capacity additions in the period 2023–27. China’s share of this upward revision? Almost 90 percent. While China surges ahead, the rest of the world remains stuck.
Cool.
Not the point, though.
Again, the original article is about China is outperforming the west because it doesn’t have to deal with all that pesky free enterpriese, and it’s based on rephrasing data from a report in a misleading way.
I don’t care about the underlying argument, I’m clarifying what the report actually says.
If you must know, I’m all for decarbonizing energy generation through both renewables and more than willing to consider boosting nuclear power. But that has nothing to do with deliberate misrepresentations for political reasons being misleading.
