Unfortunately his new energy video lacks some important information. He states that wind electricicty in China is often curtailed. Implying that they have so much electricity that they can't even use it all. But the the problem is that the good wind resources are 1,000's of km from the cities that need the electricity and there is insufficient transmission capacity to carry that much power all the way across the country.
.
He also neglects to comprehend that electricity consumption in China when converted to mtce and viewed as a percentage of primary energy consumption, electricity is only 12% total energy consumtion.

So even if they were to replace all of electricity production with 5X more Nuclear, Wind, Solar, and storage than is currently online, and gained a 2X efficiency by converting all of the built out infrastucture thermal processes and machinery to electric, if that is even conceivable, they would have to increase their 5X of new clean electricity by another 4X.
.
20X their current clean energy build out. Plus 100's of TWh's of storage.

It's not so easy as he makes it sound. |
Yeah, more green washing.
