China's primary energy supply is 85% fossil fuels in 2023. Wind and solar provide only 5% of primary energy. China builds 420 GW coal power alongside 339 GW wind and solar. Coal ensures grid stability unlike intermittent renewables. Hydro dominates Chinese renewables over wind and solar. Renewables make 1/3 of electricity mix but 10% of total primary energy. Modern coal plants replace outdated ones continuously. China prioritizes cheap stable energy for economy over climate goals. Poland lacks China's geography for hydro or optimal renewables. EU green policies ignore China's coal reality. Lobbyists mislead by citing only electricity mix not primary energy. Coal blocks run near full capacity unlike weather-dependent farms. China emits 30% global CO2 focusing on growth not decarbonization. Network stability limits renewable absorption in China. Poland nears grid stability limits from renewables.
