Renewables behemoth China surprises with soft climate target China baffles climate experts by setting the bar low with its 2035 emissions reduction target amid speculation the renewables superpower will most likely exceed its ambitions.

China’s pledge: 7–10% GHG cut by 2035, 3,600 GW wind+solar = classic symbolism. Reality: 2020 targets smashed 6 yrs early, adding ~350–400 GW #renewables a year, #EVs past 60%, #BESS surging. On this track, a 30% fall is baseline, >50% plausible. The pledge is diplomacy—delivery will be far bolder.

There are so many aspects about this astoundingly fast energy transition that peeps fail to grasp

It's coming fast - seriously fast
It's cheaper - less money required
It's faster - less time to build, available sooner
It's cleaner - less mining, less emissions
It's coming now

Tesla doesn't support using your EV to power homes or the grid EV batteries have the potential to power a household for days and could even play a part in our future electricity grid. But not everyone supports the technology.
