Just saw an article about coal consumption reaching an all time high this year. I know obviously China leads the world in population AND renewable energy, but they also lead it in coal consumption by a long shot. It’s alarming to me. How fast are they moving away from it? Is it fast enough?
What do we make of this? I don’t mean to be overly critical but it just seems like they’re moving way too slow to me, given that we have literally 10 years before we hit +1.5C.
No I do not think China is moving fast enough with energy transition, it my main criticism of Chinese energy planning.
