For all their flaws China seems to be the developed nation that is most inclined to try to do something

There are no adults in the room.

China is the child amongst toddlers.
In this analogy. Children and toddlers would likely do much better than the current adults.

There’s no logic not doing it, but here we are.

Meanwhile they are cutting green funds and this headline is garbage.

It’s self serving, of course. China doesn’t want to continue its dependence on foreign fossil fuels. Any country that’s an energy importer should be thinking the same way.
Once built, clean energy tends to be cheap on a per-kWh basis.
Investing in infrastructure is rarely a bad idea.
Meh, as long as they’re building it, whatever gets them to do it is fine with me. I care less about their motivation than I do about keeping as much fossil fuel in the ground as possible
I fully agree. Meanwhile USA is drill baby drill
Their self serving behavior vs our chad energy independence
I like that argument. however the only country which is below china in the list of net oil exporter is the US.
which invalidates it.
but sure. US is its own shitshow itself.
I think it’s coal that they’re really trying to get off of.
Also I think the further down the list you go, the more the country is dependent on imports. SA is the top, they export the most; China is a net importer. Isn’t it?
