No idea about the worthiness of sources, but a couple of things that a reportedly happening in China:
- China intends to build 150 new nuclear reactors between 2020 and 2035, with 27 currently under construction and the average construction timeline for each reactor about seven years, far faster than for most other nations
- China is building ‘300 wind and solar’ sites for every nuclear power plant
- China installed a record 293 gigawatts (GW) of wind and solar in 2023 – pushing its total capacity to 1,050GW, according to a new report
- In 2022, China installed roughly as much solar capacity as the rest of the world combined, then doubled additional solar in 2023.
- 2022 Electricity generation was 63% coal, 14% Hydro, 9% Wind, 5% nuclear, 5% Solar, 4%Gas & Bio
Yet is still about 70% coal - partly due to not using all the renewable energy generated.
I stress that I have not tried verifying this info - it seems interesting, don't really know its significance!
