WHAT ABOUT OTHER COUNTRIES? CHINA’S COAL-FIRED POWER PLANTS PRODUCE MORE CO2 THAN ANYONE ELSE.

-

China will take a lot longer than we will to become climate-neutral because their energy needs are so much greater. But at the same time, the Chinese are far ahead of us when it comes to electromob­ility and photovolta­ics. China will soon be reaching its maximum consumptio­n of coal because most of it will already have been exhausted. This milestone will cause a huge reduction in the Chinese coal consumptio­n. And oilproduci­ng countries such as Saudi Arabia are also investing heavily now in renewable energy sources. When it comes to natural resources, the Saudis have a lot more than just petroleum—namely, sunshine.
