Some have argued that weather-dependent energies would, paradoxically, make electricity even more reliable. Adding more variable energy sources to electricity grids, all else being equal, might not in itself make electricity less reliable. But all else is not equal. GW of wind produced at a rate of 0.65

Its State Council introduced a plan for responding to climate change in 2007 and in 2020, President Xi announced that China will be carbon neutral by 2060. Coal accounts for about 60% of China’s current electricity consumption, and with over 1,000 gigawatts (GW), China operates half of the world’s coal-fired power plants.

Emissions from natural gas consumption represent 79% of the direct fossil fuel CO2 emissions from the residential and commercial sectors in 2020. Additionally, indirect emissions from electricity use by homes and businesses increased from 1990 to 2007 but have decreased since then to approximately 10% below 1990 levels in 2020.
