Europe generally does well on solar, now and historically. And wind too. Though you may well consider that "climate change doomerism".
There are segments of their politicians, industry and populations who seem unaware that the EU imports basically all its oil and gas and so sabotage this progress at every step.
- A_D_E_P_T 4mo agoMy point was more that that many European politicians are torn between wanting to fight climate change and wanting to spite China -- and that, when all's said and done, they often come down on the "spite China" side, which makes for weird and funny situations. It's like they get mad that China's doing the green energy thing better than anybody else.
