Go look at china. They have 100x more clean energy than we do.


China's grid is roughly 2322 TWh or 28% renewable, versus the US grid at roughly 857 TWh or 21%. 100x is beyond a gross exaggeration.

Crucially, China still has 67% of generation from fossil fuel sources vs. the US at 61%.


Germany was at 40% renewables last year, and its electric generation sector is private. The UK—which privatized its electric generation under Thatcher back in the 1980s—was at 43%. China was at 29%.


Does low cost Russian gas count as public or private
