China’s installed wind power capacity is more than twice that of the United States, Musk says China leads the world in electric vehicles and renewable energy – yqqlm

IT House May 30 news, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said in a reply to netizens: It is a fact that China leads the world in electric vehicles and renewable energy power generation.

IT House learned that Twitter user @stats_feed released a statistic, announcing the top 15 countries in terms of wind power installed capacity. China ranked first with 328,973 MW, followed by the United States in second place. more than twice as much.

Musk replied to this: “It seems that few people realize that China is a world leader in renewable energy generation and electric vehicles. No matter how you look at China, this is true.”

Of course, judging from the original comment area, they are discussing the criticality of renewable energy and green energy to future human beings, and have not commented on the policies of any country.
