China is much more of a "fossil fuel country" than the US. They've got a ways to go to even catch up. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/energy-mix?tab=stacked-di... | ||

87.5% vs 83.1% Renewables have to go up by 10x (or more, with electrification of all the things) everywhere pretty much in the coming decades. | ||

Uh, that chart shows they source a greater percentage of their power from renewables than we do with the exception of nuclear and biofuels. Their wind, solar and hydropower bars are all wider, and they're building more nuclear. They just don't have our easy-access shale fields. If it wasn't for fracking our coal percentage would likely be just as high | ||
