China Reaches Peak Gasoline in Milestone for Electric Vehicles
Sinopec, the country’s top oil refiner, brought its forecast forward by two years in a development that didn’t get its due.
I wonder when they'll reach peak coal for their electricity production.
Yes, this is vitally important. Switching from petrol to EVs will be a net negative for the environment if all that energy comes from burning coal.
They have to clean up their grid, which unfortunately isn't happening at the moment. They're building new coal plants.
It’s still a significant net gain because of the energy conversion efficiency of both EVs and large scale power generation. It also reduces pollution in densely populated areas which improves citizen health.
Still, they should clean their grid ASAP, but they are deploying solar faster than anyone else and it’s not close.
Good to hear. This is not just his news for the environment but politically as well. The sooner the petro-states fade into geopolitical oblivion, the better for all of us.
That's what I never understood about climate change denialists. If they were arguing in good faith, there's still a million reasons besides climate change to get off fossil fuels, but somehow they never see that (obviously because they're shills for fossil fuel companies,).
They're not arguing in good faith. The whole climate change denialism thing has always been a creation of Big Oil.
