Elon Musk: China Will Make as Much Clean Electricity by 2030 as the U.S. Does From All Sources Today

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 54%. (I'm a bot)

Under Paris deal, China committed to produce as much clean electricity by 2030 as the US does from all sources today https://t.

This information contradicts some of President Trump's claims that the Paris agreement gives China a free pass to use fossil fuels.

China has already been outpacing the U.S. in reducing its greenhouse gas.

According to The Washington Post, "[E]xperts now predict that China's carbon emissions will peak, and then begin to decline, significantly earlier than the country's 2030 target, and the country is investing more in renewable energy than any other nation in the world, pledging a further $360 billion by 2020.".

The U.S. withdrawal will make it harder for the rest of the world to reach the Paris goals, not only because the U.S. produces about 15 percent of the world's carbon emissions, but also because the nation has been an important source of energy technology and financing for developing countries.

"No one should be left behind, but the EU and China have decided to move forward," EU climate commissioner Miguel Arias Cañete told the BCC. Domestic problems may also arise.
