China overtook the U.S. as the world’s top consumer of renewable energy in 2018, and continues to extend its lead…[Its] growth rate over the past decade vastly exceeds all other members of the Top 10. Cumulatively, the Top 10 consumers accounted for 76% of the world’s renewable energy consumption in 2019…[Per capita consumption of renewables in the U.S. is still well ahead of China’s…[O]verall global energy consumption is growing…[and because] fossil fuel consumption made up most of this growth…global carbon emissions continue to grow…” click here for more
