A gigantic 58 gigawatts of coal-fired capacity have been approved or announced just in the first six months of this year (2020). That is equivalent to 25 percent of America’s entire installed capacity and more than China has projected in the previous two years put together.

China largest consumer of coal and oil in the world, more CO2 emissions than USA and Europe combined. China is set to be the world's largest importer of LNG and is building natual gas pipelines to Russia, Pakistan, Myanmar, and Turjmenistan

China’s annual carbon dioxide emissions nearly tripled between 2000 and 2019, and now account for just under 30% of total global emissions which makes the country the largest emitter by far. The US, the second largest emitter, accounts for 14.5% of global emissions while India, the third largest, contributes 7.3%

China produces 27% and by 2030 will double their emissions

India is 3rd largest and will triple its emissions by 2030.

 

"The Chinese have spent a lot of money on renewables without results on anything like the scale required. So despite their continuing outward support for the green agenda, China is actually going all out for fossil fuels. The Communist Party's grip on power depends on it."

as a percent of China’s total electric power production, wind accounts for 2.7 percent and solar accounts for just 0.5 percent. Due to the unreliability of wind power, wind energy generation is often curtailed.
Low utilization rates are also blamed on poor wind-farm siting, failing to build power grid connections, and installing inefficient wind turbines. link
