No, that's the point. In terms of scale, they are literally behind on this one factor.

In terms of scale China absolutely dwarfs the entire west. There's no comparison here.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding what you mean by "in terms of scale". Typically, that's what we use "per capita" for, no?

I mean absolute scale in terms of total power production and size of deployment.

Ah, ok. But big heads-up, that's not what "in terms of scale" means. You 're talking about total output.

In terms of scale is generally used it to describe a comparison of something with regard to its size or magnitude. Perhaps you're not familiar with this usage?
