While yes, alot of their electricity is based on coal for now, theyve been rapidly expanding renewable production and nuclear power. Its almost like large countries cant instantly transition out of fossil fuel use overnight....
Edit: also worth pointing out that gridscale fossil fuel power generation is vastly more efficient than anything ylu can achieve personally, so electric cars running on electricity from coal are not as silly as it sounds
Nuclear in China's energy? I really dislike China, but know that majority of their energy outside of coal fired plants is renewable. They have the 3 gorges damn, costing close to 45billion dollars. It is producing enough energy to power the Netherlands in it's entirety. They also have a proposed mega project to harness the power of the longest, and most rapidly declining river in the world found in Tibet. It should triple or more the output produced by the 3 gorges damn.. which is insane in scale to begin with.
Nuclear is the last thing on their energy priory list.
