China is hardly a model of green energy. Germany and Denmark are not saving money with their switch to wind. http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/high-

  Poor countries are generally closer to the equator than Germany significantly increases solar efficiency, they also benifit from lower land and labor costs. So, as I said there are significant economic differences. As to China they added 19.3 GW of wind power generation capacity in 2016 and have about twice as much installed as the USA. China has installed more solar power than any other country every year since 2013 recently passing 100 GW total which is again about twice the US capacity. PS: China uses significantly more electricity than the US so on a percentage bases they are not that green. But the investment has been massive and increasing rapidly.
