No one is saying a sudden switch...
Really they shouldn't but even these new plants are part of a plan switch to more renewables over time...
That graph is meaningless....Say, are you a Chicom? How did you get secret grid plans from China? Is that graph CCP approved?
They've been moving away from oil for decades now. What happened? Nothing really. They will never get rid of fossil fuels.
Message to Iran:You can’t make this up.
President Donald Trump told ABC News on Wednesday morning that the U.S. may seek a "joint venture" with Iran to safeguard the Strait of Hormuz, following his Tuesday announcement of a two-week ceasefire.
"We're thinking of doing it as a joint venture. It's a way of securing it -- also securing it from lots of other people," Trump said when asked whether he would allow Tehran to charge tolls for shipping to transit the strategic waterway. "It's a beautiful thing," the president added.
Iran live updates: Trump suggests 'joint venture' with Iran in Strait of Hormuz
President Donald Trump says he has agreed to suspend a planned bombing attack on Iran for two weeks if Iran agrees to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.abc7.com
This war was a disaster by every conceivable metric. Now Trump all but giving permission to Iran to charge tolls through the strait. Trump even calls tolls a “beautiful thing!” They did not impose tolls before the war. Hormuz was open, and now it is closed and Iran decides who passes and who doesn’t.
When will MAGA learn that Trump is a king…the king of fu** ups.
non-sequitur
You haven't been paying attention if you think Iran can survive without powerplants.
If the oil is from Iran the tanker should get seized. Iran would get no oil revenue.
LOL, TACO?
Although some analysts argue this transition is part of a deliberate move towards "new quality productive forces" rather than old, construction-driven growth, the immediate result has been a significant reduction in global economic sentiment regarding China's growth trajectory. As discussed in, the shift in China's economy requires focusing on the new economy rather than the old.Totally false, but Xi Jinping appreciates your free promotion, useful idiot.
"AI Overview"
"China’s economy is experiencing a significant slowdown and stagnation in dollar terms rather than an absolute, sustained contraction, largely driven by deflation, a weak yuan, and a property crisis. While Beijing targets 4.5–5% real growth in 2026, its global share of GDP has shrunk from its 2021 peak, causing its relative economic weight to decline.
Key factors impacting the Chinese economy as of early 2026 include:
- Stagnant Dollar Value: While domestic output (in yuan) grows, domestic deflation and a weak currency mean the dollar value of China's GDP has stalled.
- Property Crisis: Home prices have fallen around 30% from their 2021 peak, hurting household wealth and confidence.
- Weak Consumer Demand: High savings rates and low confidence have led to subdued consumer spending.
- Reduced Global Share: China’s share of global GDP peaked around 18.5% in 2021 and dropped to roughly 16.5% by the end of 2025.
- Lower Growth Targets: The 2026 target of 4.5–5% is the lowest since 1991, reflecting a new, slower reality."
