U.S., China discuss broadening renewable energy sources

(A.P) — Ahead of the meeting, the United States and China agreed to jointly tackle global warming by ramping up wind, solar and other renewable energy with the goal of displacing fossil fuels.

The agreement comes two weeks before representatives from nearly 200 countries converge in dubai as part of the united nations climate talks known as COP28.

The United States and China have an outsize role to play there as nations debate whether to phase out fossil fuel. The agreement does not specify how china will push fossil fuels off its electricity grid.
