China in 2023 generated twice the solar energy of the US and will be adding 5 times more by next year.
You're not a big picture guy. While every other industrialized country has continued to close coal plants (I see the UK is about to close its last), they have been running full speed building new coal plants for the past ten years. For obvious reasons, wind and solar cannot be used entirely given their variability in output. These are large scale projects that must be amortized over decades. It's not like they can just turn in the lease in three years. The US has actually lowered emissions despite considerable growth since 1980. Theirs has quadrupled. Spare me the insignificant *improvements* when you ignore the overall situation.
The only reason China's emissions are as high as they are now, is that they've taken away much of your (and the EU's) manufacturing industry.
Partially. Indeed, because they play by different rules. The average person gets paid coolie wages. The concept of worker or environmental safety is non-existent. Despite the fact that their culture is 5000 years old and they have a space program with lunar landers, the rest of the world continues to subsidize shipping because they are considered "transitional". How f...ing long will their multi-thousand year transition take?
