Mostly China and India though

The two most populated countries in the world are investing heavily into renewables? Sounds good to me.

China and India are dedicated to improving the standard of living of their citizens. Those citizens need energy. The idea that China and India would invest heavily in non-renewable fossil fuels to meet that need - or worse, nuclear - was yet another potential climate nightmare. The fact that they're emphasizing renewable energy sources is one small bright note in the dark clouds ahead of us.

Germany also built a lot of solar energy infrastructure last year, as far as I know. We have a tracker on the news website zeit.de. But wind energy is still behind sadly.
