Hey everyone! Have you ever wondered how countries are using the wind and the sun to make electricity? Well, let’s talk about China, a country that’s doing amazing things with wind and solar power!
China has been really busy making sure they’re using lots of wind and solar energy. In fact, they’re using over 95% of all the wind and solar power they produce! That’s like using almost all the cookies you bake without wasting any. 🍪
By the end of 2024, China had built huge amounts of wind turbines and solar panels. Their wind power could make 510 million kilowatts of electricity, and their solar power could make 840 million kilowatts! That’s a lot of energy to power homes, schools, and even video game consoles. 🎮
In the first seven months of 2024, China made 1.05 trillion kilowatt-hours from wind and solar power. That’s about 20% of all the electricity used in the whole country! Imagine if one out of every five lights in China was powered by the wind or the sun. 💡
Since 2013, China’s wind power capacity has grown six times bigger, and their solar power has grown more than 180 times! They’re adding new wind turbines and solar panels faster than any other country, helping the whole world stay green. 🌎
Recently, at a big energy meeting, China’s leaders said they want to do even more with wind and solar power. They plan to keep pushing for a green and low-carbon future. They’re also going to work with other countries to share green energy ideas and be part of global energy decisions.
Isn’t it cool how China is using the wind and sun to make the world a better place? Maybe one day, we can all help make our planet cleaner and greener! 🌱
