– built 95GW of coal in the same time
– 33 nuclear plants under construction
– 70GW of natural gas under construction
Your paltry 15GWs (really, is actually only 3GW due to CF) of added power is basically a rounding error to china’s 9,000TW of production needs.

The point is, you're using China as a reference for pushing solar. However, it only accounts for around 10% of their output. They are still building coal, natural gas plants, and nuclear all at the same time.
What are we building? Solar, wind, and a dash of natural gas. We are…
