China has cornered the green energy market, producing 70 times more solar panels than the US. This unprecedented boom in new panels is destabilizing grids, prompting China to change its power system to reduce payments to solar providers and make energy storage more profitable. Meanwhile, coal mines are being considered for a key role in the energy transition due to rare earth discoveries. However, the green energy boom could upend mining towns' health care and threaten grid reliability in certain states, such as a populous blue state with a green energy mandate. There are discussions about the possibility of closing coal mines without ruining local economies that depend on coal for power and jobs, with Australia proposing a solution. Additionally, post-Ukraine war trends indicate a prioritization of continued coal use in the industrial sector and for coal-based electricity to stabilize a renewable electricity-heavy grid until 2050.

The post-#Ukraine #war trend in “own shoring” energy resources would point to prioritising continued coal use in the industrial sector and for #coal-based electricity to stabilise a #renewable electricity heavy grid in future till 2050, writes @ahluss https://t.co/odSyRhDBuu

China can make 70 times as many solar panels as the US. As solar power becomes the most important source of renewable energy, the US is scrambling to make up lost ground. @jendlouhyhc and @solar_chase explain https://t.co/oL3l03IecL https://t.co/1yiik7Yxos
