Hmmm . More cut and paste with no dialogue .
Coal power generation rose 8.7 % .
Wind rose 37.9 % , Solar rose 58.7 % .
Based on those numbers I'd say the future for renewables in China is pretty bright . Onward and upward .
" That announcement comes only two days after the NEA announced that China installed nearly 10 gigawatts (GW) of new solar photovoltaic capacity in the first quarter of 2018 — a 22 percent increase over the same time period last year. "
10gw in one quarter ! That's nearly one fifth of Australia's total generating capacity .
" The country seems to be rising to the occasion: Despite ongoing investments in coal, China is also the world’s largest investor in renewable energy, according to a 2018 report from the U.S.-based Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA). That’s in keeping with trends from past years.
China passed the United States in renewable energy investment in 2009 by a mere $14 billion; in the time since, that gap has increased dramatically. In 2017, more than half of global renewable energy investment (nearly $280 billion) came from China. To put that into context, for every $1 the United States put into renewable energy last year, China spent $3. "
