So the emissions reduction update, the so-called climate competitiveness strategy — there’s lots of highfalutin titles for what boils down to…(no) climate plan.”"
Without adding coal to the mix, China doesn’t have a reliable and independent way of increasing its energy generation to the necessary levels. However, China is also essentially the producer of all solar photovoltaics on Earth, the biggest producer of wind turbines and nuclear reactors, and it’s currently building the largest hydro plant on Earth. China is also the main supplier of electric batteries enabling electrification of buses and cars, and pioneers the installation of ultra high voltage electric transmission.
