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

[excalibur]

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.

 

[drudge X]

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

 

[elektra]

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

Trump's surrender of the growing clean energy technology market to China is being further boosted by his disastrous "little excursion" with Bibi:

HONG KONG (AP) — China is poised to benefit from the Iran war as global energy disruptions accelerate a shift away from fossil fuels and toward clean technologies and renewable power, industries that China dominates, experts say...​

Chinese industry giants like vehicle-maker BYD and battery-producer CATL are well-positioned to capitalize on growing interest in low-emissions energy products as the world confronts the fragility of fossil fuels.​

​

“China’s approach to energy sector development and geopolitics has been completely validated by the Iran conflict,” said Sam Reynolds with the U.S.-based Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis.​

​

... China will likely benefit from the fossil fuel disruptions despite being the biggest purchaser of Iranian oil. China leads the world in battery, solar and electric vehicle exports, and its industries are forecast to face a rise in demand for renewable products.​

Iran war's global energy crisis sharpens China’s advantage in clean tech

The war in Iran is sharpening China’s advantage in promoting a renewable energy future, as oil disruptions expose the fragility of fossil fuel systems.

Yeah...you want to know why? You can’t export that stuff. You can export fuel.... We used to before the retaliatory tariffs. China doesn’t have that problem. We do. So they’ve incresed production to fill the void that we left when your blob killed our exports.
