Didn't read your OWN ARTICLES -- did ya??? From the NYT China plans 360Billion... Which over the 5 years doesn't really amount to much. But the REALITY of what it's BOUGHT THEM so far should slow your roll a bit..
Mr. Geall and Mr. Myllyvirta both said that Thursday’s announcement was missing any language on curtailment, or the amount of electricity generated by wind and solar that never finds its way to the country’s power grid. In China, wind power curtailment was 19 percent in the first nine months 2016, Mr. Myllyvirta said, many times higher than in the United States, where curtailment levels are often negligible.
The main reason for curtailment, he said, is that China is plagued by overcapacity in electricity generation and operators of China’s grid often favor electricity generated from coal.
In recent years the country has also been building coal-fired power plants at a furious pace, although that has recently slowed along with China’s economy. Another omission from Thursday’s announcements, Mr. Myllyvirta said, was the absence of any specific target to reduce coal consumption.
So why is wind power IGNORED??? Because it's terminally unreliable and flaky... You cannot IDLE a coal plant for the 3 hours that the wind is blowing. It's meaningless, token masturbation.
And solar may be more consistent, but it's a SUPPLEMENT -- not an alternative to 24/7 grid generation.. The Demand Load at night is about 80% of daytime peaks.. Which means anything over about 10 or 15% of DAYTIME generation, needs a DUPLICATE GENERATOR to carry the night load..
Dream on..
