Meanwhile in Amerikkka: We must secure the existence of our petrodollar and a future for oil executives.
Surprised there's no "But at what cost?" in the title.
Exits to the climate collapse can be found 'here' and 'here'. Also, in case of emergency, this can double as a graph of the superiority of central planning to Laissez-faire economics
Just saying, it looks like the year-on-year spike began around the time Trump started "negotiations" with Iran that China would've known could threaten Hormuz.
All European powers should have smelled that this was coming from back when the US blew up nordstream and started turning like Hungary into a solar farm.
Who is responsible for this bastardized graph?
Me in factorio
Sometimes I see people ask how to set up nuclear power. Personally, I never have, and probably will never need to.
am i dumb or is this chart missing a vital piece of information... what are the units of solar power capacity here?
Gigawatts installed.
So in May, China added 92 Gigawatts of solar infrastructure to its grid.
thanks
oh, for a second I thought that y axis was percentage and that they doubled their capacity last month
We missed a golden opportunity when their monthly installation passed 1.21 GW.
50
Huh. Why do they keep spiking in December? Is that just an administrative quirk because it's the end of the year?
Likely because most of the year they are laying groundwork for when the large amounts need to be set up, working out kinks with small batches. The end stuff is likely mostly done by seasonal employees, which often come in from the collective and private farms to the city to work (depending on the region) during the off-season.
As well, China has pretty high unemployment rn, especially among the youth, so they can marshall these kinds of labor resources whenever they really want, it is just a matter of the state actually wanting to accelerate whatever 5-year plan targets they are trying to hit.
I didn't think about seasonal employment!
I was thinking administrators were just cramming everything in at the end of the year like kids putting off homework lol
I'd assume making sure they meet whatever goals are set.
Yeah probably rushing to hit targets I guess
This is the last month the solar industry gets government subsidies which could explain the spike.
Is there something going on annually which explains the December spikes? Using leftover procurements perhaps?
Banned? DM Wmill to appeal.
