      abstract = {In the last twenty years, China has invested immense  resources in growing their renewable energy from infancy to  one of the world’s most comprehensive programs. Since 2011,  China has consistently been the top investor in renewable  energy.    In 2017, China represented 43% of the world’s  investment into renewable energy or roughly $88.5 billion  USD.   These investments led to China becoming the country  with the largest wind and solar capacity since 2012 and  2015 respectively. However, while China leads the world in  terms of generation capacity for wind and solar,  the  country still primarily relies on coal as their energy  source. In 2018, just under sixty percent of China’s energy  came from coal while wind energy represented only 2.5% of  the energy market.   While China’s reliance on coal is  multifaceted, curtailment of renewable energy exacerbates  the problem as China is not utilizing the sustainable  infrastructure in which it has invested.    },
