In response to "the difference between China and India is interesting given their relative populations -- nm" by prayformojo

India is less industrialised - China's energy needs are greater + its industry would use more coal as an input, it makes 8x the steel that India does.

Also, (northern) China is colder and a lot of coal would be used for heating. There's less demand in India - there would be for air conditioners, but a lot of people don't have them.
