From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Guardian don\u2019t mention that China\u2019s target was a very easy one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even now, solar & wind\u2019s share of total electricity in China is under half that of the UK:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

BP Energy Review<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solar & wind capacity last year was 759GW in China, and according to the Guardian they have a target of 1200GW by 2030, so even then their share of generation in China will still be well below ours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Significantly is this comment by the Guardian:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It says that as of the first quarter of the year, China\u2019s utility-scale solar capacity has reached 228GW, more than that of the rest of the world combined.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

China, of course, accounts for a third of the world\u2019s electricity generation, so everything it does is automatically on a much larger scale. Nevertheless the Guardian\u2019s claim suggests that the rest of the world is lagging well behind, rather than China storming ahead. Probably because most countries know that solar power is not the answer to large scale generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
