China breaking all solar power records, aiming for 50GW in 2017

Quote
China is leading the world in solar power installations by a long run. ASECEA is predicting that 50GW of solar power is well within reach of being installed this year. In June and July of 2017, China installed 25GW of solar power – and they’ll push the globe past 100GW total for the year.
At China’s ‘State of the Union address’ equivalent, just yesterday, president Xi Jinping said, “Any harm we inflict on nature will eventually return to haunt us… this is a reality we have to face.”

“Taking a driving seat in international cooperation to respond to climate change, China has become an important participant, contributor, and torchbearer in the global endeavor for ecological civilization,” said President Xi Jinping, and that China must “develop a new model of modernization with humans developing in harmony with nature.”
The report, by the Asia Europe Clean Energy (Solar) Advisory, said that by the end of September China had 42GW of solar power installed. Generally, October is a bit slower of a month followed by a strong November-December period.

The republican party is wrong about solar! Solar could power the world 2,000 times over again and isn't going to be stopped. Capitalism has chosen its chosen choice of energy and that will become clearly within the next decade with solar.
 
Always a believer in solar power ... for some things.

China´s development is nice but it always must be seen in the context of the overall energy output growth. They love coal and nuclear power plants as much as they love renewable energy.

What is it that you are claiming is the Republican Party's official position regarding solar power?

Massive batteries,

In the perfect world the mixture would be
50% Solar
30% nuclear
20% wind

Wind in areas that have constant wind and Nuclear as a back up for the batteries.

Then why do you claim solar could power the world 2000 times over again?

With the right batteries or storage method it would be true but for the short term my solution above makes up for the short coming.
 
I wonder what China is going to do about the desert problem.


Deserts are a good place to stick hundreds of GW of solar energy! ;)
Possible but what if they expand and expand? Storms could also destroy the panels and all.

960x0.jpg


"The Gobi is the fastest growing desert on Earth, transforming nearly 2,250 miles of grassland per year into inhospitable wasteland. This expansion eats away at space that was once fit for agriculture and creates unbridled sandstorms that batter cities near the edge of the desert. In May, one such storm enveloped 1 million square miles of northern China in dust. Combining with Beijing’s industrial pollution, the city’s air quality index shot to a peak of 621, a rating classified as “beyond index.” For context, levels above 200 are ranked by the United States embassy as “very unhealthy,” while readings between 301 to 500 are labeled “hazardous.”"

How's Ivanpah doing?

How does actual output compare to promised solar output?

Because for all of his empty lip-service to “science”, Matthew is wholly ignorant when it comes to genuine science.

Battery production is toxic, or have you forgotten that fact?

You are only reading part of the story (typical lib), Allow me to enlighten you to a few facts.
- China is growing and thus building new infrastructure like energy energy grids and plants. And they are also profiteering from expanding coal usage.
Forget Paris: 1600 New Coal Power Plants Built Around The World
But new data on the world’s biggest developers of coal-fired power plants paints a very different picture: China’s energy companies will make up nearly half of the new coal generation expected to go online in the next decade.
These Chinese corporations are building or planning to build more than 700 new coal plants at home and around the world, some in countries that today burn little or no coal, according to tallies compiled by Urgewald, an environmental group based in Berlin. Many of the plants are in China, but by capacity, roughly a fifth of these new coal power stations are in other countries.

Check out this graph, yep, it shows Chinese emission growing dramatically while the USA SHRINKS since mid 2000’s. It really sucks when you have to face ALL the facts, huh.

China´s development is nice but it always must be seen in the context of the overall energy output growth. They love coal and nuclear power plants as much as they love renewable energy.

China has cancelled construction of over 100 coal fired power plants. They have recognized that the pollution from coal fired plants is killing people, and destroying crops and buildings through acid rain.

The Chinese are aggressively seeking to reduce toxic and greenhouse gas emissions.
