It really is uplifting to see a government meet (and so hugely surpass) their climate goals. Living in America, you’d think it was impossible from the way businesses/politicians talk.

That's only uplifting when you ignore the fact that China also approved more than 50GW in new coal power plants in just the first half of 2023...

In the end the two biggest economies in the world massively fail. One because it's controlled by fossil fuel lobbyists and the other because it doesn't give a shit and just builds up every available energy production.

China at least has the excuse of being so incredibly huge that they actually need an “all of the above” strategy to meet energy requirements.

We’re over here burning coal for little to no reason. We could replace those plants whenever we want. We just don’t, because coal lobby.

Electricity is cheap as shit in China, there is a lot of “need” that is not necessary
