China's ginormous wind and solar plans

 From a tweet by Simon Evans, an editor at Carbon Brief


I'm still not sure people understand how ginormous China's wind & solar plans are This year it will install a record 156GW, says Bloomberg, citing a govt-linked thinktank For context, 156GW is more than any country in the world has IN TOTAL (bar US, CN)


The Carbon Brief article, long but excellent, as always, can be read here.  In it, they speculate that China's emissions may peak before 2025, though that depends on whether growth in electricity demand goes back to pre-covid levels.
