Good for China. This will potentially replace dozens of coal fired power plants in the future. We all make jokes that they don’t have environmental groups that would file an injunction to stop this project. If the Sierra Club existed we would have never built the Hoover Dam or the grand Coulee Dam.
The other great news I heard today is that Argentina is going to build small nuclear reactors to power their country. These are long term good things for the planet. We should be remorseful that the USA can not accomplish these things here anymore. Instead we build these stupid wind turbines everywhere and cut down out forests and put up solar farms.
“Instead we build these stupid wind turbines everywhere and cut down out forests and put up solar farms.”
What are you smoking? I want so if that copeium. China is all in for energy they dominated both wind and solar deployments for 2024 it’s not even close they out built everyone else on the planet.
[By far the most important market in 2024 was China, adding an impressive 80 GW (75.8 GW onshore, 4 GW offshore), accounting for nearly 70 percent of the global market volume. Following China, the top contributors were the United States (approx. 4,060 MW), Germany (approx. 4,020 MW), India (3,420 MW), and Brazil (3,280 MW), according to the GWEC ranking.]
Solar they kicked butts and took names too.

[Utility-scale solar power capacity in China reached more than 880 gigawatts (GW) in 2024, according to China’s National Energy Administration. China has more utility-scale solar than any other country.
The 277 GW of utility-scale solar capacity installed in China in 2024 alone is more than twice as much as the 121 GW of utility-scale solar capacity installed in the United States at the end of 2024.]
At least know what the F you are talking about before posting complete BS.
China has TEN Texas’s worth of just solar power read that again they have ten times what the largest independent North American grid has total capacity in JUST solar their wind is another ten Texas worth.
There is a single factory in China IS not can IS making enough solar panels to put a 80,000MW Texas sized grid up every 18 MONTHS. This is their century, they are not will dominate the energy industry. The sun will never run out nor will wind the numbers they are throwing up are what powers a class one civilization, oil can never ever do that the math is clear on it.
