    What we need is robust decentralized multimodal energy production fit for the local area where it is installed and contributing to a well maintained distributed grid with multiple redundancies and sufficient storage so that incidental costs are minimized and uptime is effectively 100%. Energy is a tool and its generation is a category of tools, whining about people developing a better screwdriver rather than only using hammers is counterproductive when we’re trying to build a house for as many people as possible that doesn’t fucking kill everyone.

      I’m whining about China spending very little on current green energy technology while building more and more coal plants and taking advantage of these sort of PR stories.

      I can’t help it, I’m one of those people who whines about climate change.

        ‘spending very little’???

        They produced more new green energy than the total capacity of green energy for the rest of the world combined in 2024.
