The Myth Of Green China

Advocates of subsidies for "renewable energy" and taxes on oil and coal sometimes point to China and claims that its economic boom is associated with a great expansion in "green" or "renewable energy".

But while it is true that China is increasing its use of "renewable energy", what is left out is that China is increasing its use of all sources of energy, and that compared to primarily coal, the use of "renewable energy" provides only a small fraction of its energy, as Alex Epstein explains in this interesting post.
