But experts say these are just bumps in the world's energy transition away from fossil fuels to green energy, which, in its next phase, will focus on optimizing supply and demand.

Lmao, the only part of the article where they bothered to cite an expert, the expert says the issue is overblown

China is producing a fuckload of clean energy, but at what cost??

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Oh, no the grid can not handle the production! Sounds like a reason to invest in the grid. Unfathomable to western countries of course, money for maintanence of public infrastructure has already been cut and redistributed to the military.

Man, it just must be so fuckin easy to be a newspaper analyst. "There's just TOO MANY solar panels and I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY CAN MAKE THAT MANY obviously their POWER GRID must be FAILING LIKE TEXAS."

Parenti quote

China is either responsible for all the carbon emissions, or overproducing panels and collapsing fragile energy markets

That quote is so relevant every time a Western politician opens their stupid mouths about China.

The quote

In the United States, for over a hundred years, the ruling interests tirelessly propagated anticommunism among the populace, until it became more like a religious orthodoxy than a political analysis. During the Cold War, the anticommunist ideological framework could transform any data about existing communist societies into hostile evidence. If the Soviets refused to negotiate a point, they were intransigent and belligerent; if they appeared willing to make concessions, this was but a skillful ploy to put us off our guard. By opposing arms limitations, they would have demonstrated their aggressive intent; but when in fact they supported most armament treaties, it was because they were mendacious and manipulative. If the churches in the USSR were empty, this demonstrated that religion was suppressed; but if the churches were full, this meant the people were rejecting the regime’s atheistic ideology. If the workers went on strike (as happened on infrequent occasions), this was evidence of their alienation from the collectivist system; if they didn’t go on strike, this was because they were intimidated and lacked freedom. A scarcity of consumer goods demonstrated the failure of the economic system; an improvement in consumer supplies meant only that the leaders were attempting to placate a restive population and so maintain a firmer hold over them. If communists in the United States played an important role struggling for the rights of workers, the poor, African-Americans, women, and others, this was only their guileful way of gathering support among disfranchised groups and gaining power for themselves. How one gained power by fighting for the rights of powerless groups was never explained. What we are dealing with is a nonfalsifiable orthodoxy, so assiduously marketed by the ruling interests that it affected people across the entire political spectrum.

This is a pretty common thing even in Western countries with solar panels

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

basically the article is moaning that China is mass producing cheap panels that there's a huge global demand for

And Biden just doubled tariffs on solar cells from China too!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

It threatens the profits of the petroleum industry, one of the co-owners of the USA, so of course it is bad.
