Yes, China is a big country that has deployed 1.25TW capacity of renewable energy, which will deliver approximately 40% of that actual energy, while using 5.6 TW from burning coal. FYI the reason you get 40% of capacity delivered rather than the usual 15% or so for solar and wind, is because most of China's renewable capacity is biofuels -- e.g. poor villagers burning wood, charcoal, etc, in small stoves. That biofuel number is an order of magnitude larger than China's solar deployment and is reliable, in terms of capacity turning into actual energy, as it does not depend on the weather. So just step back and think about this again, now that you are better informed:
