Because I said the discussion on countries's commitments to renewable energy sources was for another week, my weeks start on Monday.

 

But again, I agree. The threat posed by China on the global stage is huge, spying on us being but one small facet. We, the rest of the world, should be putting up a united front. However, Trouser Cough doesn't agree, so they are having a field day, forging ahead with their designs whilst we stand divided. Another reason we should have our own renewable energy manufacturing industry.

 

In the UK we have our priorities all screwed up. So much political resource and discussion is taken up by a few illegal immigrants that we forget to focus on the real issues. China, Russia, Iran and whatever other hostile states are out there, are a far greater threat to our national security than the <10% of our immigration total. It's weird.

Absolute and utter shite. Stick to nice and safe public sector office stuff SP or feel free enlighten everyone as to where your knowledge has been gained. 🤡
Regarding your previous comment, I base my opinion and comments on a combination of real world experience and reading unlike yourself who is office bound day after day . 
Today’s view SP an offshore “wind farm “ and a nice sunrise in the Baltic. Enjoy your day in the office. 

 

 

So if you are wanting to knock a country for its commitment to renewable energy source, China is a piss poor example for you to choose. Pop off, do some reading, some education.

 

Have you done any reading, which example do you choose?

 

So Brazil are leading the field currently, in commitment to renewable energy sources. That was a surprise to me, probably not to you though. China ain't doing bad either, they're up there in the pelaton. We're not even on the board, the UK definitely has work to do.

For their coal, it used to be used for 70% of their electrical generation, now it is 40% coal powered. That transition has taken about 15 years.

now it is 40% coal powered ? - too wet for hedge cutting, so I'm in fact checking mode and you are found out once more

 

In 2024, coal accounted for approximately 59% of China’s electricity generation, with wind, solar, hydro, and nuclear contributing most of the remainder.

You made it sound like coal use in China is already coming down due to renewables, it hasn't come down (there has been no transition over 15 years, as you claim. I agree with you it will happen, but coal use hasn't been reduced yet, the renewables have added to capacity, not replaced fossil fuel burning. So far China's total electricity generation has gone up, but coal hasn't come down.

unlike UK or US - China is still building more of these coal plants

You sure about those numbers ??.

No, not entirely, as I've not personally done the calcs. I do however have no reason to think that they're fabricated. Dot.Org sites are generally pretty trustworthy, being non-profit organisations and all that. Obviously I'd need to see a James Garvey post on LinxedIn to fully trust the figures.

 

Interested to hear about your counter argument though. Have you got some insider information to share, some "alternative facts"? Which country is actually leading the charge when it comes to commitment to renewable energy sources? Don't tell me it's Pakistan or something!

The figures are out there, very easy to find and substantially higher than the numbers you quoted, mind you they come at an astronomical cost to UK households and businesses. There is often a disparity between production and consumption mind. You ever take a break from being a condescending prick 42 ??,  somewhat like the office blagger you seem to think relentlessly misspelling people’s names or ridiculing an information source is an effective way to put your point over. 
Strange behaviour from someone who is obviously not stupid. How’s the rat/bin situation by the way.

42s Our World in Data link does show the UK if you type it in the search and the figure matches that in the bottom of of the above search screenshot - 51% ~ 50.8% . Even James Harvey would be happy.
