China at least has the excuse of being so incredibly huge that they actually need an "all of the above" strategy to meet energy requirements.

We're over here burning coal for little to no reason. We could replace those plants whenever we want. We just don't, because coal lobby.

And on a per capita basis, China consumes less than half what Americans consume. Sure looks like they're reducing waste.
