update to this classic with some recent headlines
The Brazilian petrol company has been broadcasting a “fair energy transition” ad (Fair only to the company shareholders!) while working to drill oil from the Amazon, so that first line of the meme really reminds me of this.
to be fair the brazilian petrol company is mostly controlled by gringos at this point.
after temer and bolsonaro furthered its privatization, i mean.
hearing american brainrot over solar across the years as an aussie has been a wild trip.
if you can’t stuff the sun into barrels and sell it for outrageous profits, is it even of any use?

I love capitalism so much
The next move is probably them selling solar “subscriptions” where you don’t pay the full price of panels/storage but instead pay a monthly fee that works out to way more than the cost of installation in the long run
Do something, win.
Green energy is good, but I’m sceptical of China’s intentions these days. They seem to have a pretty aggressive stance towards other countries, as seen in their handling of the nine-dash line.
I just get the sense that China is less interested in helping the whole world, and more interested in subjugating the whole world.
If that means ending greenhouse gases emissions I for one welcome our new Chinese overlords
You’re not seriously suggesting that china is any better. They are part of the system. They just recognized that selling solar pannels and stuff to othercountries is very profitable.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_renewable_electricity_production
China is in first place with 32% of global renewable electricity production. They have built more solar capacity than the rest of the world has ever had installed in one year. No other countries are anywhere close to the green acceleration they have purposefully spearheaded for themselves and the world.
They installed a shitload of it too though. They’re not just selling it.
“China bad”
They just recognized that selling solar pannels and stuff to othercountries is very profitable.
If it was very profitable, countries and companies would be falling over each other to do it.
does China also host military US bases in their country? If not, they’re not part of the system.
The PRC is a socialist country, they aren’t “part of the same system.” Unless you mean that they do trade with the rest of the world, but that’s true of all countries. The PRC is far better than the US, and it isn’t close.
It’s always business, irrelevant if you sell petrol or solar cells. But last is way better for the environment, while fossil fuel destroy it.
Not good, but still better. sadly
