Basically this information shows that In total,

China got 42.4 Mtoe from wind and solar in 2014. In other words, the total production of energy from wind and solar energy is less than one third of a year’s of growth in primary energy consumption.

By primary they mean mostly coal. So as the article stated no RE energy revolution occurring.

Shhh Onlooker, there are certain RE diehards who will not believe the data and you might upset them.

Welcome to the chorus of realists, China, India and the other expanding powers of the 21st Century are using cheap fossil energy to fuel their growth. The reasons for this are simple economics, and no wish for a solar/wind future will change that.

The other factor people are ignoring, China is currently doing a massive series of large Hydroelectric dam projects. As soon as the Three Gorges project finished construction the workers moved up stream and have been working their way up the tributaries. China's largest RE growth is in Hydroelectricity harnessing rivers with mega size dams more like the Hoover in size and effect.

The fact is China coal demand is falling off a cliff. Two major coal miners in the US are now trading below $1. The carnage from this commodity price dip in the coal industry is a developing story.

Hershey said that its chocolate sales growth in China was below expectations in April and May. In the first quarter, sales in China slid 47 percent excluding sales of Golden Monkey products, a Chinese food company that Hershey bought a controlling stake in late last year.

Hershey maintains that a slowdown in China's economy is keeping people from buying its goods.

Don't worry, our Bums of Business have a new growth industry. Its called

Sedation

In the sickcare system, literally thousands of pills (eg. Neurontin) for a single prescription are flying off the local comrade pharmacist's counter. There are lots of these chemical lobotomies to choose from.

Anybody who believes the USA is a technological civilization has been asleep for the past 40 years. The system has been rotten to the core ever since 1970. Anybody who isn't a half-wit can see this is a toxic society we are living in.

If you are not a subsidized victim, then you are a tax-paying fool.
