🇨🇳CHINA'S SOLAR DOMINANCE ISN’T ABOUT SUNLIGHT - IT’S ABOUT STRATEGY
China installed 93 GW of solar and 26 GW of wind in May alone - enough to match the electricity use of Poland, Sweden, or the UAE.
That’s nearly 100 solar panels every second, and over 5,000 wind turbines in one month.
China now has over 1,000 GW of solar capacity - half the world’s total.
So why is the U.S lagging? It doesn't lack sunshine - its solar irradiance, especially in the Southwest, beats much of China’s.
The issue boils down to policy and priorities.
China’s government has made solar a national mission, with consistent 5-Year Plans, cheap loans, and land grants fueling growth.
Meanwhile, Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill will make the U.S far less competitive in renewables, handing a huge strategic victory to China.
