The sheer scale of the China industrial complex equal parts impresses and scares me, but nevertheless this is a huge achievement.
It’s always quite interesting that western governments like to try and lay blame at China’s door (despite the US still being the largest historical carbon emitter) but here they are shattering renewable energy records. We need other governments to do this sort of thing.
Exactly, here I am in the UK and just this morning the prime minister announced a roll back on the pledges for onshore wind because they want to appeal to the NIMBY’s. Does my head in.
I guess for me it’s just the amount of dithering and delay by most governments around the world, it’s incredible when a government actually does something.
On the flip side, there’s obviously all of the human rights abuses committed by the CCP, and it’s a lot easier to make a lot of progress very quickly when you can silence people who oppose you and force people to comply.
