From another post...

China

"China is leading the world in renewable resources, and slowly working away from coal fired operations.
"In 2020, for example, China pledged to reach 1,200 gigawatts of renewables capacity by 2030, more than double its capacity at that time. At its present pace, it will meet that target by 2025, and could boast as much as 1,000 gigawatts of solar power alone by the end of 2026, an achievement that would make a substantial contribution to the 11,000 gigawatts of installed renewable capacity that the world needs to meet the 2030 targets of the Paris Agreement. Fossil fuels now make up less than half of China’s total installed generation capacity, a dramatic reduction from a decade ago when fossil fuels accounted for two-thirds of its power capacity."
They are doing far better than the US who is responsible for nearly twice the per-capita carbon footprint."

How are they walking away from coal fires operations while simultaneously building new coal fired generation?
