- nothrabannosir 8y agoIs China hostile to clean tech? I thought they were one of the biggest driving forces behind clean energy out there. They also pollute, a lot, because they produce a lot of energy full stop. Afaik they do everything and anything, right now. Burning coal doesn’t make you anti clean energy , it just makes you a polluter. It’s a bit ironic , but then again: welcome to China :p
- drfuchs 8y agoThrowaway5752 is referring not to China, but rather the USA, as having “single party control of a government that is hostile to clean tech and initiating a trade war with the worlds largest consumer market for the next 50 years“.
- nothrabannosir 8y agoThat makes complete sense, and I totally missed it. Sorry, and thanks!
- throwaway5752 8y agoNo, it's odd to think of the US in those terms and still feels strange. I understand!
