- stavros 2y agoBut how is the poor Westinghouse megacorp going to make more money if we're just benefitting humanity for free?!
- SoftTalker 2y agoYes, it's not like China doesn't already have weapons. The more we can do to help them cut carbon emissions the better.
- r00fus 2y agoIf only we did what they're doing to cut emissions. They put up more solar every quarter than the rest of the world does every year.
- SoftTalker 2y agoThey have also brought a lot of new coal power plants online in the past few decades. I'm not sure if they still are, or have shut any of that down.
- HDThoreaun 2y agoTheyve lifted a billion people out of poverty in the last 80 years. You need energy to do that
- burkaman 2y agoBuilding new coal plants is bad, but it could be worse in that they seem to be running those plants less often and using them as peakers rather than baseload: https://www.sustainabilitybynumbers.com/p/china-coal-plants https://www.sustainabilitybynumbers.com/p/china-coal-plants
- burkaman 2y agoAgreed, this seems like a positive outcome for everyone except maybe the private equity people who own Westinghouse.
