China has more renewable energy than any one in the world
- throwaway0a5e 5y agoAnd what fraction of their energy is that? They probably have more coal plants than anyone else in the world too. Citing raw numbers is pointless when China is involved since everything is so numerous there.
- chki 5y ago> while China does nothing to address their environmental impact At least it proves that this statement is untrue.
- cptskippy 5y agoAnd they also have the most lax environmental standards. Green energy is nice but allowing business to dump whatever they want into the environment isn't.
- lodovic 5y agoDoes that mean China and Russia approve of making a clean environment a human right?
- respondo2134 5y agoBetter this toothless, vague "human right" than any of the more basic, legitimate and critical ones from their perspective.
- selectodude 5y agoI would imagine China will demand a clean environment be a human right and then turn around and say they have no duty to help with it because they have been and always will be a “developing nation”.
- respondo2134 5y agoMore coal generation too. All this means without context is that they're big. Their commitment to green initiatives has been extremely toothless to date
- baud147258 5y agodidn't they just built coal power plants across their border in neighboring countries?
