The focus on China’s big renewable-energy investment diverts attention away from actions that are less in keeping with its green image. China installed record numbers of coal plants in 2015 and the first half of 2016, according to the International Energy Agency. For all of the talk about China’s huge investments in wind and solar energy, the agency found that in 2014, the latest year for which data are available, 66% of Chinese energy needs were met by coal power. Wind energy supplied 0.4%. Wind will grow, but coal will remain a dominant energy source for China in the decades to come.

lol...
by the spelling mistake in the above link i would suspect other problems with burning an atom

"Can I burn an electron, proton, atom or any of such particle? If yes, then how and what would happen after it? If not, then why not?

Mahesh Shenoy, Physix Teacher, FloatHeadPhysix - Youtube

No you cannot burn an electron or proton or even an atom or any such fundamental particles.

Why?
Because the word 'burn' is just a word used to describe one kind of chemical reaction in which some fuel (say wood containing sugar) combines with oxygen in the air to form carbon dioxide and water with release of large amount of heat and light."

Thanks for supporting me. Now pass along the information to Petros who does not seem to understand that the word "burn" refers to a chemical reaction that produces CO2 from carboniferous fuels, which was exactly my point all along.
