China Installs Equivalent of Australia's Total Solar Capacity ? In Six Months

In a big push to cut carbon and support industry, China added more than 3 GW of solar in the first half of 2014.

BEIJING -- China, the world’s biggest carbon emitter, accelerated solar power installations in the first half, adding enough capacity in the period to equal Australia’s entire supply of power from sunlight at the end of last year.

China added 3.3 gigawatts of solar capacity in the six months ended June 30, double last year’s additions, the National Energy Administration said today in a statement. China now has 23 gigawatts of solar power supply, almost seven times as much as Australia, which is described by its own government as the world’s highest recipient of radiation per square meter.

If this energy source was so bad...China wouldn't be doing this.
