11. You avoid mentioning the pace of China's remarkable transition to renewable energy
Fri May 22, 2026, 12:51 PM

“While the rate at which they are building nuclear plants is slower than the rate of building coal plants there…”
--Total installed solar and wind capacity has officially surpassed China’s coal, accounting for roughly half of the nation's total power capacity.

“Solar and wind have never kept pace with the growth in the use of fossil fuels…”
--China’s energy transition has reached the point that where solar and wind capacity are drastically outpacing coal.

The anti-renewable bias is essentially a form of gaslighting. Don't believe your lyin' eyes when we see a transition happening across the world.
