There are still some people who haven’t realized just how fast and vast the global switch to renewables is. If you’re one of them, this statistic should put it in perspective. China installed 93 GW of solar capacity in May 2025. Put another way, that’s about 30 nuclear power stations worth of electricity capacity. All this cheap renewable energy will power China’s industrial might in AI & robotics too. Meanwhile western countries look increasingly dazed, confused, and out of date.
China breaks more records with surge in solar and wind power
But at what cost 😔
And China has been at this for years. Nuclear power too. Australia has also found out how much sunshine costs.
Now if they would only run wires to the panels.
China’s population exceed 1.4 billion, so everything they do, they do on the large scale.
China fixed climate change. USA put tariffs on it and made Chinese EVs illegal.
Fixed? WTF. How?
Damn it’s amazing what you can get done without pesky human rights in the way
Surely you have it better in freedom land.
Yes we do in fact.
Not for long 😢
Not until you guys get basic human rights.
