China weans itself off coal

 From EV Curve Futurist

Forget the “China runs on coal” talking point. Between 2015 & 2025, solar’s share of China’s electricity generation grew 16.4 times. Wind’s grew 3.35 times. Together -> from 3.9% to 21.9% of generation. Coal’s share fell from 70% to 54.8%. By the first half of 2026, it was below half, at 49.7%.

China *does* still "run on coal"  — but over the next decade, that will change.  My estimate is that coal will provide just 25% of China's electricity by 2036.
