Comment on China is on track to reach clean energy targets six years early
fr0g@piefed.social 4 months agoA lot of countries are ahead in their targets for solar because solar has gotten so much cheaper so rapidly. In general renewable technologies have gotten cheaper faster than even the most ambitious predictions foresaw. So it might very well not be a low-balling thing.

Well, they certainly might have thought let’s better not commit to uncertain goals, but the consistent low-balling of climate targets compared to pretty much everyone else with similar economies was the main critizism about China in climate summits a few years back. So I guess this proves the critics right, but still good that China didn’t become complacent on this despite their own low-balled targets.
