It’s wild that China ONLY produces 2x the electricity, when you consider the population and amount of industrial uses.
As that is still way less electricity per person.
I was curious what the growth rate was. Looks like they were at 1x only fifteen years ago.

Nice. Hopefully we'll see that coal start to drop off soon.

Energy data from 2023 indicates that Chinese households and the service consume way less energy than American households (per capita). For households, it's about 1/4rth. For services, it's about 1/8th per capita (rounded figures).
