Abstract:
Over the past decade, China has made a spectacular leap to become the leading user and manufacturer of wind and solar power. However their commitment to fossil fuel still outweighs renewable energy. The article will trace the growth of clean energy and the coal and oil industry, in China's internal market as well as their global investments. It will examine both private and state-owned enterprises, show the transnational links embedded in global capitalism, and consider China's leadership in the transformation of the world's energy infrastructure.
