Just to join a few dots again: I realise the news is dominated by the arrest of someone famous in Norfolk... but just as significant for the decades ahead is a story about China becoming the world's… | David Shukman Just to join a few dots again: I realise the news is dominated by the arrest of someone famous in Norfolk... but just as significant for the decades ahead is a story about China becoming the world's first green superpower. It's great to see my old colleague Laura Bicker at BBC News covering something that isn't sufficiently recognised: that China's ambition in solar, wind, batteries and electric vehicles of all kinds is beyomnd anyone's imagination. When I visited the country to report on the rise of Chinese wind farms in 2013, I described the investments in reneweables as the largest the world had ever seen. But the rate of growth since then has been mind-blowing. As Laura reports, in some places last year, as many as 100 solar panels were being installed every second. Contrast that with Donald Trump's killing of the 'endangerment finding' on carbon dioxide. This was the guiding principle for action to curb greenhouse gases. He wants to give car makers and power stations the freedom to fill the air with pollution. Tom Rivett-Carnac OBE has posted a great video about this - link in the comments below if you haven't seen it. He describes the Trump administration essentially admitting defeat, accepting surrender in the face of Chinese advances in green technology. It's a terrible shame given the inventiveness of the American mind. If unleashed to develop new kinds of motor and batteries and energy sources rather than labouring to revive coal mines and internal combustion engines, think what could be achieved. From a previous post on this I know people have strong views about China's motives and potential for dominance. I'm not challenging that at all - there's a lot to be critical of. But facts are facts, and the impact of the electro-transition is global, far-reaching and unstoppable. Who's to tell Ethiopia to stop importing cheap Chinese electric cars and to buy more oil instead? Something very bigly is happening and Trump's making America miss it. And, yes, in case you're wondering, I do cover this in my book, The Response...

Methinks during 2025 China switched on more renewable energy than the total electricity used by Germany.

Yes in just one year and u> 400GW

Check out what India is doing in this respect, and by some parameters it's out performing China.
