China’s production of natural gas and nuclear energy has grown 1.4 times faster than solar and wind combined.

Because China knows how unreliable wind and solar are.

That, and all the coal-fired power plants they've been building.

​

But the media’s relentless propaganda campaign about China’s solar, wind, and EV sectors is obscuring the country’s soaring use of hydrocarbons, and coal in particular. By itself, China consumes more coal than the rest of the world combined — and it will keep doing so for decades to come. As I reported in August, China is now building 227 gigawatts of coal-fired capacity. When all those coal plants are brought online, China’s coal-fired generation capacity will total about 1.4 TW, meaning China’s coal fleet will be more than seven times larger than the US coal fleet. Put another way, China’s coal fleet alone will be larger than the entire US electric grid, which has 1.3 TW of generation capacity. ​

​

Furthermore, the most impressive energy story in China over the past 15 years isn’t about solar and wind. Instead, it’s the meteoric rise of N2N, natural gas to nuclear, a strategy I’ve been promoting for more than 15 years. ​

​

Under Xi Jinping, the most powerful Chinese leader since Mao, China’s production of natural gas and nuclear energy has grown 1.4 times faster than solar and wind combined. China’s domestic gas sector is now producing nearly three times more energy than all of China’s solar panels. In addition, China is building more nuclear capacity than any country on the planet, and no other country is in the same zip code. ​

​

Of course, these facts don’t fit the media’s preferred narrative. But the numbers don’t lie. Here’s a close look at China’s energy sector, with a particular focus on the country’s booming gas sector, illustrated with four shiny charts.​

China Goes N2N

Under Xi Jinping, China’s big energy growth story has been natural gas and nuclear (and, of course, coal) not solar and wind. These four charts prove it.

Yeah, but China isn't at war with us.


Isn't that the ole cry to deflect what the Chicons are doing?

They're just allowing us to cripple ourselves.

 

[FireFly]

China has 40 million EV's on the road needing lots of power to keep charging them.

We should drop on the Cold War nostalgics like a ton of BRICs

I'm not sure what that means.

I'm stating that the US needs to get back in the energy game, drop the alt energy subsidies, and get to building Nuclear Infrastructure.

lol… China opens like one coal power plant a month.

democrats want control, complete control.

democrats now dictate how warm or cold we can have our house

democrats dictate if we can have grass, a garden

democrats want complete control, wind and solar were only about democrats making millions off the trullions they spent on wind and solar
