- adventured 8y ago11 of the 12 most polluted cities on earth are in India. They need to build a lot faster given coal is still 3/4 of their energy generation. The US is a laggard on solar as a percentage of energy generation, and even the US has a larger share of its energy derived from solar than India does. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-43972155 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-43972155
