I should have been clearer about China. Renewables are poised to start replacing lost coal capacity starting now in China.
Big capacity retirements are planned in the next 5 years and renewables will be looked to to fill in most of the gap. Renewable capacity additions are planned to account for half of all net capacity additions in non-OECD countries. China will account for 40% of global renewable capacity growth. That's from the IEA.
Globally new renewable capacity acounted for 45% of global net new capacity additions. How is this not huge?
