Submission Statement

Some of the facts and figures in this report are truly staggering - "In the 2022-2025 period, we expect China’s renewable power generation to increase by almost 1,000 TWh, equivalent to the total power generation of Japan today." - yet as China is growing so fast, that is only going to put a small dent in its coal use.

If there is any silver lining its that the IEA has previously said that relatively small tweaks in government policies on financial backing and planning could accelerate renewables adoption by a further 25%.

If the usa just stopped giving away tons of subsidy money to Fossil fuels and didn't tax them I know my cou try would go renewable within a decade. It would be soo quick and easy and wouldn't cost taxpayers anymore taxes.
