The proportion of China's electricity produced from fossil fuels (56%) is now lower than it is in the US (60%). What an absolutely MONSTROUS performance.
Of all the things to turn into a nation-v-nation contest, saving our shared atmosphere is the silliest.
If it drives more investment, I'm all for it.
Yea, wish we had a green race just like we had a space race during the 1st cold war, at leadt something useful would come out of it.
oh shit, "we are losing the green race" is excellent propaganda
The space race also created all sorts of new materials and technologies, but renewables would be more directly applicable.
