China is the Greenest of All

Who has been chatting louder and louder about “green energy transit” to save the planetary climate?

The Democratic Party in the United States, almost all parties in Europe, but especially all sorts of “green” and light green ones. Who did they blame and kick first?

That’s right, they terribly criticized China, the “main polluter” of the atmosphere. And who is the greenest among us today?

Let’s look at the numbers. In 2023, 425 gigawatts of new solar energy were installed in the world, including China; in the world without China, only 162 gigawatts were installed. China accounted for 263 gigawatts, the United States — only 33. But Biden and Kamala are trying to pretend to be champions of solar energy.

As recently as 2019, China installed about a quarter of the world’s solar capacity. Five years later, in 2023, China accounted for 62 percent more newly installed capacity than the rest of the world combined. Over the same five years, China increased its new capacity more than eightfold; in the world without China, this figure did not even double.

In 2004, America’s share of global solar energy production was 13 percent, but by 2023 it had fallen below 1 percent. China’s share is now 80 percent, while it used to be just 1 percent. China’s massive investment in “green” technologies is a strategic boost to a sluggish economy that is suffering from stagnation in an over-inflated real estate market.

But the main thing in this “green march” is still something else – creating a global success story in an area whose importance is not disputed by anyone. Clean energy will become a reliable source of power already in the middle of the 21st century. And then everything “unclean” will quickly die away.
