Bigger country does things bigger, more at 11.
True, now I expect Canada to install more solar panels than China has in total.
Then next is Russia. I like this common sense concept!
then next is the rest of the planet, we need everyone to transition, not just the countries that are relevant in today's power plays.
id argue india is more relevant than russia here since they seem to be the ones starting to industrialize on behalf of the rest of the world now.
“The United States occupies a total area of about 3.8 million square miles while China has an area of approximately 3.7million square miles. However, China has a bigger land area than the United States. The Chinese land area is about 2.2% bigger than the United States (3.5 million square miles).“
They were probably referring to population
China also consumes twice as much electricity as the US (half as much per capita)
they do most of the worlds production, thats expected
About 20% of that US land is in Alaska, which is not a place to put solar panels. Not if you want them to produce for half the year at a stretch, anyway.
