Alternatively the crisis can be used to accelerate right development - quickly build up solar farms and transmission lines. Both of these can be done quickly if there were a political will. Yet, that will is missing.
32.5 gigawatts (GW) of solar power capacity, down 18% from last year.
11 GW of wind power capacity, up 19% from last year.
20 GW of thermal power capacity, up 414% from last year.
1.2 GW of hydro power capacity, down 36% from last year.
1.2 GW of nuclear power capacity. "
Edit: to the proponents of nuclear - i think nuclear is very damaging to society as it promotes corrupt crony-government capitalism instead of market forces.
So, we're talking 40GW. Lets see what China does:
