Totally worth assessing the difference between the two numbers. "50.9% of electricity" is a different question than "total energy consumption", but total energy consumption is the better question.
Your article is based upon capacity which is not a comparable metric for energy sources. Coal and oil operate much closer to capacity. Whereas, solar and wind energy rely on, sun and wind which is not consistent, or arguably reliable. Hence DH's article "Alarm on Energy". Use drives emissions, not capacity. Capacity is largely irrelevant.
I prefer fuel used as the metric for fossil. Simply measuring GWh generated ignores the emissions cost of variability. (peaker plants are high emission)
As a math teacher I thought you would understand the difference between a total gross amount and a percentage. My bad. Yes, coal is a smaller piece of the pie, but the pie keeps getting bigger, as does the increase in coal powered energy production and consumption. Which results in an increase in emissions, as opposed to a "meaningful reduction in emissions". China is up 10% in emissions over last year. That's a big increase.
It’s a big increase, but it’s one time. Power use went up because they ended covid restrictions. You’d be hard pressed to find a less predictive number.
So, how predictive is this on future coal use in China?

Time and time again you are so wrong.
The "Hound Charts" never let us down. Great work brother. I'm so glad you and your family said no. I love you man. I'm already getting some private companies interested n my services, just because I said no and as willing to lose everything for not complying. Some of Trumps inner circle caved into pleading a little guilty so they don't serve time. Meadows was attacked for 3 years, and he finally caved into being a guilt and get Trump. These cheaters & liars are nasty. They love war with other people's children. Dad has been so dead wrong, his wrong has killed other humans. His wrongs have been so fucking wrong, people like me in Southern California lost everything business wise and have to learn a new way to earn a living without selling your soul to the Jabs, the mask and to Big Corp and also Big Fucking U. They trapped us, surrounded us and tried to make me a fool, just like the fools theyr are. Now their only thing left to lie about is the Climate Hoax and the Weather Lies.
Alone, it doesn't say much.
Well here you go...and you wont like the answer....
China is also the largest producer of wind and solar energy. However, the development of new coal plants is far outpacing renewables. Dad4 equates developing wind/solar as replacing coal and oil. That couldn't be farther from the truth, which again, is obviously irrelevant to Dad4.
No, the problem isn’t “soaring material costs.” The problem is that unreliable energy sources such as wind and solar are bad investments that require government subsidies to stay operational in the best of circumstances.
The public is starting to aggressively reject wind energy and much of the green agenda.
And because they are bad options as primary energy China is building traditional power plants. They had a drought that affected their hydro power production and caused major disruptions. They realized that you cannot rely on renewable energy as a primary source and since then have really started ramping up traditional power plants.
Darn, did the science change again?

In that case, it looks like China was trying for a while, and then stopped bothering. I don't like the answer, but there it is.
