That's why never have a chance. This greedy bastards full of shit do not give a fuck about the planet. Play a vital role in maintaining global energy security mean keep digging money, keep maintain the power, richs and poors, create and consolidate a world where the 1% can keep going around the globe with airplanes, build villas same as medieval castles, buy testla to feeling ecofriendly, having someone below like slaves to feeling important, while offert them a life of work for nothing. Buying my cars, consume my petroil, spread your legs and open your butthole. This world is doomed and smell.

Most of China's increased electricity demand is to bring poor people who are currently farming in rural fields into urban jobs within big cities. It's to help meet the growing demand of a population that currently has:

  1. 296 cars/1000p (US: 908/1000p)

  2. 73.7% Internet connectivity (US: 92%)

  3. Limited heating capacity because of very little natural gas supply (US: this basically isn't a problem because the US has infinite gas reserves)

  4. Rolling blackouts in the summer because of AC use since China and other countries that make up the Global South have been disproportionately affected by climate change (US: this isn't really a problem)

But yes, please feel free to blame the rich... but please don't ignore the fact that you ARE the rich.
