    It really is uplifting to see a government meet (and so hugely surpass) their climate goals. Living in America, you’d think it was impossible from the way businesses/politicians talk.

      That’s only uplifting when you ignore the fact that China also approved more than 50GW in new coal power plants in just the first half of 2023

      In the end the two biggest economies in the world massively fail. One because it’s controlled by fossil fuel lobbyists and the other because it doesn’t give a shit and just builds up every available energy production.

        Three times as much solar being built as coal is still great, especially for a developing economy. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

            The costal part is pretty much developed, but the rest of the country is still industrialising.
