To me, this sounds... naïve at best. Coal and especially oil are well-moneyed interests, and also important voting groups.

It's also an ideological, but not entirely nonsensical, fight against subsidizing industries. Which is not quite wise, at the time when China still seriously subsidizes solar and wind.

It has increased greatly over the last decade and is much greater than their solar and hydro production, and is roughly 60% of their output.
