TLDR: America / Russia ~ Gas. So what. Ultimately China will loom over everything. Neither the US, EU or Russia nevermind Africa/South America, have anywhere near the foundation that China is building right now.

here is one (not the one i was looking for)



another one (again, not the one im looking for) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFlgAe1GJFI

/e cant find it. basically he was challenged that china didnt have the capability to produce energy. Musk outlined that they are doing EVERYTHING. i.e. wind, solar, nuclear. If its a race, they are clearly winning while everyone is stuck in the sandpit.

WIND:

No.1 for winder energy in the world?

China built more new windfarm capacity in 2020 than the whole world combined in the year before, leading to an annual record for windfarm installations despite the Covid-19 pandemic.

A study has revealed that China led the world’s biggest ever increase in wind power capacity as developers built almost 100GW worth of windfarms last year – enough to power almost three times the number of homes in the UK and a rise of nearly 60% on the previous year.

Most of the world’s new windfarms were built onshore, which more than offset a drop of 20% in the new wind power capacity built at sea.

The report, by Bloomberg New Energy Finance, found that China built more than half of the world’s new wind power capacity. Its onshore and offshore windfarms grew by almost 58GW last year, more than the world’s combined wind power growth in 2019.



SOLAR:



I dont even know what I'm reading other then they are no.1 on the planet for solar power.

NUCLEAR:

Power reactors under construction

Here its pretty clear they are also no.1 for building...

This isn't happening any time soon. The infrastructure, metals and storage capacity to be able to move off completely from fossil fuels is at minimum multiple decades away. Just to give you an idea, this is what some scientists are saying in what it would take for a tiny island like England to completely electrify their vehicles.

my point for the dump above is, if you want to stay ahead you have to be building for the future. And bluntly no one is doing it better then China while everyone else is too busy with Biden vs Trump, America vs Russia, Brexit vs EU and what not. its all such a farse. When I look at this current conflict I honestly look at it from a world view and ask why the hell did we allow it to get to this point. its so stupid.

its nice to have shitloads of space and literally wastelands that offer opportunities where wind and solar are actually worth it, but your second part is the actually important one

nuclear power is the future, its inevitable

News: Zelensky tells UN to 'act immediately' on Russia

probably not safe to dump his speach here noting its quite graphic, but feel free to google it. its pretty blunt.

Not really. Gas is a lot cheaper as a fuel source than oil and we've got another 50 years of it

It's business. They're diversifying away from fossil fuels as it is, and Iran will always be a regional power with their population and reserves

'The Jews' will just have to deal withi it

medium long term is 20-100 years. its a matter of perspective eh hehe

Listen up old man, I'm 28 years old

Zelensky is trying to start ww3 since he knows it is the only thing that will save his bacon.

At the expense of the rest of the planet, of course. But clearly Ukraine's leadership feels entitled to sacrifice the world to save their petty lives.
