Assuming a 50/50 split, China is saying it will build 1.25 million MW of wind and solar. Add in some more costly hydropower and let's assume a million MW or a terawatt. That's about 30% more capacity than the entire US. That's how big of a deal this announcement is. --- End quote --- holy god damn |
