To be fair, the biggest city in china probably has the same population as all of Norway.

Okay, maybe it’s me but this seems less impressive then. Like yeah it’s great that they can produce as much power as a whole country but when that country has 1/5 the population as your largest city then relatively speaking it doesn’t seem that great.

Did you even bother reading the article? It is referring to a single city in China (Chaozhou) which has a population of 2.5 million compared to Norway’s 5 million.

A city of 2.5 million will produce enough wind power for all of Norway. China total population or any of China’s other cities is irrelevant to this article.

What? People read the articles? JK. I mean it’s still impressive but their total population absolutely matters. It means this is like a drop in a bucket of water.
