US media: China and India are becoming leaders in clean energy deployment

2023-06-28

Bloomberg News recently wrote on its website that China and India have done "more than expected" to deal with global warming. In terms of the most important predictive indicator for the future of global climate - the speed at which clean energy is deployed and replaced by fossil fuels - these two countries are becoming leaders. A column published on the Bloomberg News website said that the smoke from Canada's severe forest fires choked Northeastern United States. Americans are gradually realizing that climate change is today's problem, not tomorrow's problem. However, many people still believe that the main culprits of climate change are developing economies, especially China and India. This mindset has always been wrong and ignores how these countries can play a leading role in the transition to green energy, "the article said. The article introduces that China's per capita greenhouse gas emissions are only half that of the United States. India's per capita emissions are only one-seventh that of the United States. The article states that although the world has lost valuable time due to the hesitation of the United States, progress has been made in addressing climate change globally. Clean energy technologies, including wind energy, solar energy, and battery energy storage, are now highly competitive and in many cases cheaper than coal, oil, or natural gas. This progress is not only led by Europe, but also by China, India, Chile, Morocco, Vietnam, and others. The data cited in the article shows that China's current wind power generation capacity is almost twice that of Wind power in the United States, and solar power generation accounts for one third of the global total solar power generation, more than twice the relevant power generation capacity of the United States. China is building far more renewable energy facilities than other countries. It is expected that by 2025, one-third of China's electricity supply network will come from renewable energy sources. In addition, China not only focuses on creating a domestic electric vehicle market, but also becomes a major exporter of electric vehicles. The article states that China is introducing a large amount of clean energy into its energy market. In 2022, China's investment in accelerating its transition to renewable energy is three times the amount of EU related investment; Compared to its economic scale, China's investment in this area is four times that of the United States' investment commitments. In the first four months of this year, China's solar installed capacity increased by an astonishing 36%. China plans to increase its solar energy installed capacity within one year, which is almost equivalent to the installed capacity of all solar infrastructure in the United States. The article argues that by any standard, the United States needs to worry about falling behind China and India in the field of clean energy. (New News Agency)
