Carbon dioxide (Energy)
About this GapCastAll humans emit carbon dioxide (CO2) and contribute to the climate crisis. But some humans emits much more than others. Although the total CO2 emissions from China are almost as big as those from United States, the emissions from a single American are more than 6 times larger than those from a person in China. In China today, almost 80% of the electricity is produced from coal, and that proportion is increasing. What China needs is an environmental-friendly way of producing electricity that is cheaper than coal. |

You mean like nuclear? The only solution that can work right now.
Or if you capture and store the CO2 from teh power plants you can reduce emissions. This seems unrealistic however. The best plan is solar energy. The technology is there, we just need to reduce costs and ramp up production.
