Based on their actual performance I think you are the typical believe everything they say but ignore what they actually do sort of person. Most progressives are.

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.

You forget one thing. Night.

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.

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

So we all died in 1950 from all those toxic lead acid batteries we cart around in our vehicles by the tens of millions. LOL

I hear it works really well at night and when it is very cloudy!

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!

You can't do that! The solar panels destroy the ecosystems for the desert flora and fauna.

I know this because an environazi told me!

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.

Batteries are made from the most polluting and deadly substances known to man. Just mining for the batteries alone will damage the earth.

Those aren't nearly as toxic as the Li batteries. But you knew that (at least you should if your claim to have geology classes under your belt is to be believed) and choose to ignore that. Which makes it a lie.

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.

Why should they worry about killing people? They have a more than ample supply!

 

[Bob Blaylock]

How many solar panels have you personally helped install, Matthew?

If that's you, you look like my buddy I used to work at the prison with. We go shooting together.

It wouldn't be me. I've never been in prison, neither as a worker nor a resident.

They use coal because they need to. Not because they love it. In fact the pollution that is caused by coal is seen as a threat to the Communist Party.

They need to. But they also need to cover the growing energy demand. And the missing 100 - 120 GW will need a replacement.

Dang, that sounds lucrative. What kind of geology produces these battery mines?

 

[anotherlife]

The Gobi desert is more barren than the Sahara, so China has plenty of solar power opportunities.

 

[Old Rocks]

We all have plenty of solar opportunities. Hundreds of square kilometers of warehouse, shopping mall, and commercial roofs in our cities. That puts the generation right where the most power use is, cutting transmission losses by a very large percentage.

When people invent the "right batteries", the world will change, you just imagine if we have batteries with a density of energy the same as that of fossil fuels, we will use flying machines, exoskeletons, autonomous large robots and a lot of others useful things. This will be the beginning of a new era. But I doubt that this is possible, at least not in the near future. And, as usual, if these "right batteries" are possible, there will be many side effects, for example, either these "right batteries" will be expensive or explosive.

Then why won’t california allow that?

 

[elektra]

Deserts are a good place to stick hundreds of GW of solar energy!

Unless you account for how far from the markets they serve are, 50% loss of electricity transmitting the power to the market it serves!

Then you must account for the cleaning of the Solar Panels, seems they do not like that dust in the desert, it destroys the ability to make power.

Then of course, you must destroy the desert, what simply looks like dirt to you actually has a diverse ecosystem of plants and animals.

Solar, they must destroy the world to save it.

And China is not going to be a Solar nation, they went nuclear power.

California does do this? The problem is, it is extemely expensive. They just built Ivanpah, a $2.1 billion dollar failure that kills endangered turtles and birds by the thousands.

The other problem after the extreme expense, is there is no water to clean the panels.

The 94-Year-Old Inventor of the Lithium-Ion Battery Has Come up With the Next Great Battery Design

Known for his role in the development of the lithium-ion battery, John B. Goodenough — now an emeritus professor at the Cockrell School of Engineering at the University of Texas, Austin — has come up with what may be the next major battery-related breakthrough: a tiny all-glass design. Developed by Goodenough and senior fellow Maria Helena Braga alongside a team of researchers, the new low-cost, solid-state design is both safer and more efficient than its predecessor thanks to its use of a sodium- or lithium-coated glass electrolyte — one that can store three times as much power as a lithium-ion alternative. Best of all, though, is that the battery can withstand extreme temperatures, charge in just minutes, and offers more than 1,200 charge-discharge cycles — meaning it will last significantly longer than a lithium-ion battery. And the glass design isn’t only cheaper and more efficient — it’s safer, too. Since it doesn’t form the dendrites that accumulate with a lithium-ion battery’s charge-discharge cycle, the glass battery won’t short circuit or burn — a problem that ultimately plagues its lithium-ion counterpart.

Ultimately, the technology could be used to store energy from the likes of wind and solar systems and also make electric cars infinitely safer and more affordable. “Cost, safety, energy density, rates of charge and discharge and cycle life are critical for battery-driven cars to be more widely adopted. We believe our discovery solves many of the problems that are inherent in today’s batteries,” said Goodenough

I have already read this news and am waiting since its publication, when we will see the battery that will be created by this new technology.
