China has recently doubled its output in renewable energy. It has transformed from 34 gigawatts to 74 gigawatts produced each year as a result of this transformation. Shandong, Xinjiang, Henan were the provinces that saw the most capacity increase, while Xinjiang, Gansu, Qinghai and Inner Mongolia had the greatest overall capacity. This is a major step for China as they have been notorious for being the largest carbon emitters on the planet as a result of coal being their main energy source. With China's advancements towards renewable resources and the United States' recent steps back, it will only be so long until we surpass China for carbon emissions.
With the election of an eco-terrorist president and a big oil loving head of the EPA, it seems as though the United States will soon be the leaders of Carbon emissions in the world. It is sad to think that China, who is supposedly the bad guy of the environmental world is taking steps toward environmental efficiency while the United States, the leader of the Free World , elected a person who has promised to move away from renewable energy and towards fossil fuels, along with massively cutting funding from the EPA, an agency that not only protects the environment that surrounds us, but also the water we drink and the air we breath.
