> Tamil Nadu has installed wind power capacity of 7.9 GW which is more than Denmark at 5.5 GW. Having been to both I can say that, although there’s more wind generation per unit area in Denmark - that 5.5 GW is spread over a country that’s roughly 1/3rd the area of Tamil Nadu — I was dodging turbine blades everywhere I went and India is definitely doing an impressive job increasing renewables, and I’m hopeful that will substantially improve. My problem with the headline is that it implies that the overall emissions rate has dropped that substantially, but what’s dropped is the emissions rate per unit of economic growth… which is good, but the effect on the overall rate trend is severely dampened when you note the speed at which the GDP is growing. In a period of high enough GDP growth the lowest currently attained emissions density rate would still result in a net increase of emissions… the headline should just be more precise.
