Back in 2013,
. . . China was using as much coal as the rest of the world combined, and
. . . it looked like coal use would keep growing astronomically forever.
Now the Chinese government ordered,
. . . 13 provinces to cancel,
. . . 104 coal-fired projects in development, amounting to a whopping.
. . . 120 gigawatts of capacity in all.
To put that in perspective, the United States has about
. . . 305 gigawatts of coal capacity total.
