This is hilarious because the sentiment (look at me trying not to use provocative language) regarding China has meant there’s been an outwardly view that they only care about polluting and yet, not only are they producing the bulk of the world’s solar panels, they’re actually implementing green energy policies at a rapid rate. Funny thing is, this isn’t even a pro-China thing, it’s a pro-planet thing. We absolutely need our biggest nations to lead the way in replacing coal and the likes with renewables. I will happily celebrate the small wins along the way.
But also, 8GW would be the nameplate capacity, (maximum power) you will get maybe a third of that on average depending on clouds, season, and time of day/night.
Still better than nothing, or institutionalized nothing as it is the way in US states
