How much is renewable energy dominating new power capacity worldwide? That’s how much! 92.5% of new power capacity added to the grid ... [continued]
Edit: I was looking for a graph but it was in the conclusion
New renewable energy capacity was dominated by China, with the country accounting for almost 64% of global capacity additions. (What would the industry do without China?) Together, G7 countries accounted for 14.3% of new capacity, while G20 countries accounted for 90.3% of new capacity (of course, 64% coming from China, as already mentioned).
China does hydro too - which is the best by far. In the west we’re far to precious about landowners.
We have a whole area in my country called the lake district used for nothing but tourism and a few sheep, and lots of godawful poetry. (plus maybe one coppermine).
We really need to make it live up to it’s name, flood the whole thing into one giant lake and run the worlds largest hydro off it. Stop pissing around with piddly little windmills, and putting solar panels over perfectly good arable land in s country where we have a lot of cloud cover.
Is there a breakdown per country?

Yeah.
