China’s new coal capacity in 2024 alone (95 gw) is roughly equal to the entire country of Thailand

I wonder if the 2023 US natural gas numbers are related to Europe’s policy shift away from Russian gas and towards more expensive American LNG.

Four things immediately spring to mind here... 1) China supplies over double the amount of energy USA does globally - so expressing as a % is a weaker expression than a total amount here 2) USA produces and exports the most amount of natural gas globally (almost 25%) 3) My home, Australia, is looking at IMPORTING natural gas for domestic use, as it is apparently more economically beneficial to export than use what we generate ourselves 4) NYT is poop 💩

Comparison of absolutes over time for some more context, it is interesting to see that he US has remained SO stable in demand. https://ember-energy.org/data/electricity-data-explorer/?entity=United+States&entity=China

Most media outlets are propagandized by special interests at this point. Wild that anyone takes them seriously.

NYT is a propaganda. Although solar power is efficient, it is not yet fully viable and developed. China still remains the galactus of energy.

Renewables will not nearly cover the demand from massively increasing AI DC loads. Sure they can help and PV is fast to market, but nuclear and thermal PP's are absolutely the bedrock of the system and need to be ramped signifiantly with new builds. No one talks about the massively increased cost to consumers also from grid reinforcement to accomodate e.g. offshore wind. The system losses from congestion are in the billions. Does not even get a mention. Remember it's consumers who pick up the tab - it is baked into our bills.
