If you bet on constrain fostering innovation, you should bet on China becoming superpower in clean energy. Why?
China is currently heavily reliant on coal and oil for its energy mix. Tsinghua University academics presented modeling to us showing that even under the most optimistic of low-carbon scenarios, coal and oil will account for 55 percent of the country’s primary energy mix in 2050. This insight strongly suggests that China must optimize coal and oil use and manage increasing demand through energy efficiency and conservation. These practices will be as important as or even more important than China’s efforts in developing renewables, nuclear, and natural gas.
