China Installed More Solar Panels Last Year Than the U.S. Has in Total::China installed more new solar capacity last year than the total amount ever installed in any other country.

Good. I assume it helps that most of the world's solar panel manufacturing is based in China.

The rest of the world should be ramping up production, not relying on China for cheap labour.

I keep seeing more and more about the solar production in Georgia, USA ramping up!

It great to see the world really going into green industrialzation.

Cool part is we've got a functional safety system like OSHA so everyone goes home with all their fingers and toes, and the EPA keeps the nearby creeks from getting contaminated.

Can't say the same for other countries, troubled and fucked up as our country is.

Other countries are Asiatic hordes, nothing but lawlessness and savagery. Only America make clean safe technology! 😜

You know how when you're the first to do something, you're also the first to make mistakes? Look at the Hanford site, for example. First place to ever process uranium and plutonium.

Imagine knowing the results of being careless, and being careless anyway, after the fact. 😂 What's wrong with you??

To be clear: I believe most people anywhere want to be safe, and do a good job. Their administrators and governmental reps are the pieces of dogshit, ccp included, that ignore safety and individuality. The US has serious problems too, but again, we have safety organizations with teeth here.

its obviously good for the rest of the world to industrialize, but they would just be moving carbon emissions from china to themselves.

they themselves would need to transition to renewables if we want this move to be good for the climate.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

That would be the point of making panels and wind turbines themselves.

Ideally you'd want enough manufacturing capacity to power your whole country with renewables, in the time it takes for the first bits to start needing replacements.

well arab countries have visited them and found no problem and mass refugee movements arent happening. i think they should be fine.

what did i say that was remotely related to them on my post?

I trust the Arab countrys as far as I could throw them. Get the Irish in there and I may take such claims seriously.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

the conspiracy is that the arabs are complicit with their own secret genocide then? what do the irish have to do with an arab genocide? 🤣

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

What do Arabs have to do a Turkic genocide? You are conflating Muslim and Arab.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

by all means, get the irish to show us whats happening there then.
