Global Outlook丨Kerry: The United States and other countries should keep up with the pace of China’s green energy development

Xinhua News Agency, London, November 12 (Xinhua) The British "Guardian" recently reported that former US Secretary of State John Kerry said in an interview with the newspaper that China is leading the world to gradually get rid of dependence on fossil fuels, and other countries in the world, including the United States, must keep up. The summary of the report is as follows:

Kerry said some countries, including the United States, have fallen significantly behind. If these countries do not develop low-carbon electricity and accelerate the electrification process, they will not only suffer economic losses, but also face a greater climate crisis.

"The only country that is picking up the pace significantly is China. The rest of the world is still faltering, and nature is sending us stronger signals every week, every day," Kerry said.

He believes that from an economic perspective, combining renewable energy with energy storage and some natural gas as a transition energy source is currently cheaper and more efficient than using fossil fuels alone.

Kerry said that the market has made its choice and the world is transitioning to an energy system with electricity as its core. "People are moving to embrace electricity and will work to make the process as clean as possible. I see many places making this option a reality. This trend is unstoppable."
