nb4 they blame cina for having high carbon production recently while the all time carbon production is dwarfed by the west while doing green tech embargoes on countries like cina
Also people like to blame China for commissioning all these new coal plants. But this is a matter of expanding installed capacity.
The overall generation of coal power in China has been steadily declining, while renewable power generation has been steadily increasing to replace it. The transition can't happen overnight.
also theyre looking to get 2-3x the number of reactors, theyre gonna dwarf the rest of the world in reactor output, and the new nuclear sites are gonna be shiny latest gen shit with all the safety bells and whistles :posadist-nuke:

china has enough clean energy to power the US for half the year. but it needs to get higher, obviously.
because the nytimes have been doing the birth sides thing with global warming, maybe
