according to kuai technology news on september 28, musk recently publicly stated that china’s industrial production capacity has far exceeded that of the united states.

according to information on the x platform, musk made this comment in response to a user post. the picture shared by this user shows that according to the energy research institute's "world energy statistical yearbook" (2024 edition), china's power generation caught up with the united states shortly after 2005, and has been on a straight upward trend, far surpassing the united states in 2023.

"wow. industrial production capacity is first approximated by power generation. china's industrial production capacity has far exceeded that of the united states," musk commented under the netizen's post.

in fact, my country's power generation has ranked first in the world for more than 10 years. today, the average electricity consumption of one person for one day is about the electricity consumption of one person for nearly three years 75 years ago.

data for 2023 shows that the united states' power generation is 4.4 trillion kilowatt hours, india's is 1.9 trillion kilowatt hours, and china has reached a staggering 9.4 trillion kilowatt hours (almost 5 times and more than 2 times that of india and the united states) .

although the united states has a huge power generation capacity, in recent years, the aging problem of the u.s. power grid has begun to become apparent. especially in 2023, many critical infrastructures have exceeded their design service life.

as the california fires have exposed, aging power grids not only affect the stability of industrial power consumption, but also increase safety hazards.

more importantly, the u.s. energy structure is still highly dependent on fossil fuels. although there has been progress in promoting renewable energy in recent years, coal and natural gas still account for the main proportion of power generation.
