Last year, China generated 834 terawatt-hours of solar power.

Which is more than the G7 countries generated, and more than the US and EU combined. In fact the only country group that generates more solar power than China is the OECD, all 38 countries of it.

    They are going to keep those coal plants as back up but the amount they use then is decreasing.

    At the same time they are rapidly moving transport into electricity and they are growing their electrical demand.

    This year should be the tipping point where coal and oil usage drops. Capacity and number of coal is meaningless.
