China keeps adding coal power plants like no other and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future

Funny to read these comments when China is easily dwarfing all other nations in solar capacity and technology. You can make these dismissive comments all you want, but China is going to be at the forefront of “green” energy production this century.

Sure, but there's something to be said for continuing to add non-green energy alongside it.

From an ecological perspective, it's like going on a diet and smoking an extra cigarette for every 100 calories you cut out.
