China's latest energy megaprojects show that coal could really be on the way out

China has some of the worst air pollution in the world. In several cities, thick layers of smog are common, resulting in thousands of deaths every year.

According to multiple studies, the top contributor of air pollution-related deaths in China is coal.

To improve the country's air quality, the Chinese government vows to spend at least $360 billion on clean energy projects and create 13 million new renewable energy jobs by 2020.

China's latest energy megaprojects - two giant solar farms in Anhui, one of which will go online in May - could get the country closer to that goal.
