Canem Malum,

Apparently the graph was confusing for you, too.

Kudos.

China is heading towards becoming the worlds largest economy by 2026/30, partly due to its energy policy of increased use of renewals, supplemented by a decreasing demand for fossil fuels. The Americans under Trump with his mad economic policies, and his misled belief that America should rely on expensive coal and gas, and ditch renewables, will only accelerate China's economic dominance. News for Trump 145% tariffs ain't going to do it for ya sunshine!

Liberal-aligned The Australian Institute for (No)Progress ran anti-Greens ads dressed up as unbiased opinion during the recent Federal election, after it received a $600,000 pay cheque from the Queensland coal industry. Its amazing how money shapes ones opinion.

Thanks Graham for exposing another liar and anti-everything misfit. Thanks CM.

Why is China installing so much wind and solar? In a word, overcapacity. Much of the wind and solar that China has built does not have the transmission infrastructure to connect it to the grid. Maybe China is installing so much because the rest of the world is starting to wise up to the shortcomings?

Production line nuclear still a work in progress, so we will have to endure the wind and solar grid fantasists for a few more years.

Paul,

I live in one of the electorates in which the AIP's anti-Greens flyers were distributed. The campaign went down like a lead balloon here.

From what I could tell, the general feeling was one of disgust.

Fester,

Curtailment’s a growing pain, not a death knell. Nationally it’s under 7%, zero in big cities, and China’s already spending billions on transmission and storage to fix it. That’s what “too much clean power” looks like, and it’s a problem every country should be so lucky to have.
