China is building a mammoth 8 GW solar farm

State-owned power company China Three Gorges Renewables Group will build an 8 GW solar farm as part of a nearly $11 billion integrated energy project.
great, but why are they still building 4GW of coal too?
Because they're still a developing country with a relatively low baseline power supply per capita (half that of the US).
Second largest economy in the world, “still a developing country”.
The people aren’t worse off because they’re not developed, they’re worse off because their government is even more corrupt.
Isn't most power consumed by industry rather than residential?
