China Adding Germany-Sized Grid in 2025; Energy Dominance Key to Future
LinusEkenstam · x · 2026-08-25
LinusEkenstam argues that China will add a Germany-sized grid in 2025, mostly from wind and solar. China has accelerated energy production since 2000, and the US would take 25 years to catch up. He believes energy dominance will determine the future, but per capita use shows the US leads, possibly indicating waste. He cites Ireland's higher GDP with lower per capita energy use.
