China is poised to displace petro-states as the leading global energy power this century. While the world's total installed electrical capacity is roughly 10 TW, China's solar industry alone can now produce 1 TW of panels annually.

Renewables (especially solar) & batteries are on an unstoppable path to global domination. The simple reason? Cost. Thanks to economies of scale, they are now the cheapest source of energy - and they *still have far to go in getting even cheaper.* By the early 2030's, they will be vastly cheaper than the alternatives. The electrification of the economy that this is driving in China is on the scale of the 19th century Industrial Revolution in Europe. What today is China, will tomorrow be the world. Many in the rest of the world seem caught in the tailspin. In particular, clinging to outdated narratives courtesy of the Fossil Fuel industry. But that's a big mistake. From now on, the only way to credibly plan for and model the future is to talk about it as what it really will be - a place where renewables and batteries will provide almost all energy.
