China Emissions Start To Fall
China has led the world in greenhouse emissions for decades, and it still does. It is well ahead of No.2, the US, and third, India. Despite little support for global plans to slow climate change, China’s emissions have started to fall due to changes in how it creates its own energy.

Semafor states, “A growing number of experts believe China’s carbon dioxide emissions have peaked or will do so in 2025, in the latest sign of the country’s booming renewable energy production.” China’s development and deployment of green energy is both the largest and most rapidly growing in the world. This is particularly true of solar and wind power.
US Getting Green?
The lesson from China is that other nations could quicken their investments in green energy use, particularly if the acceleration has its foundation in central government support. Wind and solar energy development is usually more expensive than coal and oil because the infrastructure to produce fossil fuels has been in place for years.
The federal government has shown only a few signs of major support for green energy. Granted, there have been some financial contributions in the billions of dollars. However, that is a fraction of the investment needed.
