The Amount of New Solar Power Production Capacity China Is Manufacturing Is Legitimately Mind-Blowing

Published by José Betancourt

Source: Getty Images Last year, a viral drone video from China’s Guizhou province revealed an entire mountain range blanketed in solar panels stretching to the horizon. It’s a stunning visual, but it doesn’t even begin to capture the staggering amount of solar power being produced by the People’s Republic. As of 2024, China was responsible for 64 percent of the world’s utility-scale solar and wind construction, with 339 gigawatt hours of renewable energy infrastructure in the works, even though it only has around 17 percent of the planet’s population. To put that in perspective, at that point the total electricity capacity of the planet— not just solar, but nuclear, coal, gas, and renewable energy, all added together — was about 10 terawatts. Now, as a Wired deep dive explains, China can pump out a full terawatt worth of solar panels each year. According to China Daily, the country’s solar capacity grew at a compound rate of 11.7 percent annually from 2020 to 2024. That’s nearly triple the global average of …

The 2002 film – in which courier Jim (Cillian Murphy) wakes from a coma to find the UK consumed by the “rage virus”, causing those infected to rip anyone nearby apart – was the blueprint for the past two decades of zombie media. It is a brutal take on violence erupting in an already rotten society. It would have been easy for the franchise’s new trilogy of films to simply replicate this formula. But 2025’s 28 Years Later, the first of the three, set decades after the initial outbreak, blew up the foundations of the series and transformed it into something new and fascinating. In telling the story of Spike (Alfie Williams), a 12-year-old boy from a virus-free island off the ravaged mainland of Britain, it revealed the speciation of the formerly indistinguishable infected, introducing Alphas like Samson (Chi-Lewis Parry) who are capable of strategic thought. The truly …
