China is the climate elephant in the room. It is responsible for 29.2% of the world’s annual emissions, giving it the unwanted title of the most polluting nation on Earth. Not only that, it emits more than twice the emissions of the number two spot held by the USA. *BUT* This year alone, China installed 210 GW of solar capacity, twice the total solar capacity installed in the US and four times that China installed in 2020. They also installed 70 GW of wind power, which is more than the UK currently has installed. What's more, the droughts which crippled China's vast hydroelectric infrastructure over the past few years appear to be coming to an end, enabling them to add another 7GW of hydropower. But it isn't just renewables that are growing rapidly. This year alone, China has added 3 GW of nuclear power, the equivalent of half of the UK's current nuclear power capacity. medium.com/predict/china-.. #A Glance of China 行摄中国
