China’s coal consumption declined over three consecutive years (2013 to 2016), and a continued slow decline is expected. Now, not only coal is spewing insane amounts of carbon dioxide – one kilogram per kilo-watt/hour on average – it is also now more expensive than wind, solar, and soon battery storage.
