    1. China, the world’s largest pollution emitter, is going green with clean energy alternatives and doing so quickly. Recent energy reports detail the nation’s commitment to implementing solar and wind power, so much so that it is expected to achieve its 2030 clean energy targets by the end of the month.

      According to a July 2, 2024 report from Climate Energy Finance (CEF), China is on track to achieve its target of 1,200 GW in wind and solar installations this month. The original timeline to achieve this green energy goal was 2030, so China is an impressive six years ahead of schedule and is showing no signs of slowing down.

      China installed 103.5 GW of clean energy capacity in the first five months of 2024, while its thermal energy additions declined by 45% year over year. This indicates a transition from coal and nuclear power to cleaner alternatives while still meeting growing demand on its local electrical grids.

      Meanwhile far right politicians call scientists conspiracy theorists with agendas whilst paying for their own „science“ to say climate change is a hoax.

    3. And while simultaneously closing down all their coal burning, right?

      Right??

    4. Easily achievable If you:

      – steal the technology

      – ignore human rights

      – ignore environmental interests

      – and more

    5. Anyone who complains about Chinese pollution is absolutely off the mark. That goes triple if they’re Americans.

      Is China the one providing the statistics? I don’t trust the CCP to be honest about this…

      That 1,200 GW target is the same size as the US grid.

      China is just compounding its advantages: cheap energy and lower wages make for less expensive products and that is a competitive advantage.

      China produces 7X as many engineers as the US, twice as many scientists. That makes for more talent driving innovation. Being the producer of the latest and greatest tech is a competitive advantage.

      Take this bit from worldeconomics.com „In 2022, the IMF judged the Chinese economy in PPP terms to be 23% larger than America. At the same time, using PPP data the World Bank estimated the Chinese economy to be 18.8% larger than America. And even the CIA considered the differential in favour of China at 16%.“. China’s economy is expected to surpass the US economy on all metrics by 2035 at the latest.

      India is not all that far behind China in the STEMs metrics meaning it is well ahead of US numbers and should catch up the US economy before 2050. Hell even the EU can pull ahead of the US if it ever pulls its head out of its ass.

      Very interesting times.
