Rothmus 🏴 (@Rothmus) “China added a Germany-sized low carbon electricity grid last year. Nearly 500 TW”

China added a Germany-sized low carbon electricity grid last year. Nearly 500 TWh more generation, almost all solar and wind, built in factories that still burn coal. Carbon payback came in under two years and power sector emissions still fell. Germany already had zero carbon nuclear power. It shut the last plants down in 2023 because ideology demanded it. Higher prices and more coal and gas backup followed. One country scales clean energy through ruthless pragmatism. The other commits economic suicide and calls it environmental virtue. The West is economically self-destructing by submitting to blue haired lesbians on SSRIs.
