You're not using consumption adjusted emissions and are therefore accidentally saying nonsense, if you use consumption based emissions, the us is at like double... so uh no, they win there too undeniably.
Also the trajectory is better too.
i'm not saying china is great but that's a nonsense point.
China has more coal power plants than any other country, by a huge margin. 8x more than the US. How is that nonsense?
For two reasons
It's not a valid metric. Per thing consumed china creates way less emissions.
Strange, I don't remember mentioning emissions at all. Pretty sure I was contrasting producing green tech with dirty power plants.
...what is the problem with coal plants if not emissions?
Anyway, my point is that most of those coal plants are essentially doing work for other countries, since other countries are importing their goods. It's misleading to say china's power is dirty when they're doing practically the entire worlds manufacturing. Then there's the population difference, the trajectory of green power, and the fact that there the coal plants are primarily used as toppers.
