I'm saying okay let's do this instead this is boring I don't care about nuclear fusion China the big bad Boogeyman for the West leads the world in clean energy production contrary to the image we're supposed to have of them from all the Red Scare propaganda and xenophobic fearmongering once seen as a major polluter China has in recent decades implemented a rapid transition to clean energy away from fossil fuels is there anything the US can do to incentivize other countries to decrease pollution I think we should get our [ __ ] together but also China and
India combin make 30% of our climate change issues jumped in my 5.0 yes you're right have you ever looked at have you ever looked at like who the mass consumers are like at all bro the cruise liner industry okay the cruise liner industry mits as much carbon pollution as the entirety of commercial and regular car travel inside of the entire European continent okay you are out of your dang mind yeah India emits 1/8 as much as USA per person an American's fridge no that cruise liner thing isn't correct it's SO2 and it's an old stat
okay an American's fridge or like a crypto Miner is is causing more causing more pollution than like entire countries and you're over here being like um why is nobody thinking about China in terms of per capita carbon emissions we are putting up numbers dude I saw a Tik Tok about climate change that bom me out so bad the weather we're experiencing right now is likely because of the pollution from the '90s and early 2000s and any changes we make right now won't be fed for the next 30 Years strap in chat yeah and a big
chunk of the pollution from India and China is because the West outsources their emissions to the third world and even then their per capita emissions are nothing in comparison to the average American like look at this per capita consumption based CO2 emissions emissions in 2021 the United States by and large is the top alongside Saudi Arabia and Oman damn okay Mongolia popping off I'm asking so they could also hold us accountable to decrease our [ __ ] yeah dude uh that's never going to happen Okay second most important city beautiful buildings beautiful streets a gorgeous
City when I see cities like this I think also about the other side of it you know there's a phrase from Walter B I mean every monument of civilization is also Al a monument of barbarism I think of the famines in Bengal the Jud workers in Bengal sending Jud to dunde through the Glasgow Port I think of human beings from Africa enslaved and brought from Ghana to the new world and all those profits getting sucked into cities like London and Glasgow you know between 1765 and 1938 the British Isles stole 45 trillion ion dollar pounds
from India 45 trillion Sterling from India we never got paid for that when the British left India when we threw the British out our literacy rate was 133% so much for several hundred years of so-called civilization meanwhile our Landscapes were destroyed you know coal was foisted on India you foisted coal on us you were the ones that came and made us cold dependent and then you left and now you dare to condescend to us when I listen to Bor oh this is another one the US military emits more CO2 the many industrialized nations an infographic
from 2022 okay that's the other side of the equation here is the United States military emitting more CO2 than many nations okay this is from 2017 the US military emits more CO2 than the entire country of Morocco Peru Sweden Hungary Finland New Zealand Norway Switzerland okay it's laughable when CH about like paper straws or try to universalize the blame a chatter debunk what you said about the propeller planes oh this is uh I think it was Oliver right uh who went and asked his PhD friend hey so I know it's definitely is impossible theoretically if
we were to use war planes to try and slow down hurricane Milton how many would it take to make a I'm so busy today but I'm bored and this sounds more fun than work theoretically if you had 3 million f35s running with full afterburners it would be enough to prevent the ad break so yeah if the if we used all of the world's resources is the only make f35s we can slow down a category 5 hurricane some man can't beat Mother Nature not I'm done dude no no more trust you've destroyed the the sacred Bond

transformation is happening even as Western sanctions and tariffs on Chinese renewable products threatened to stall this critical progress in this video we'll take a look at China's remarkable Journey explain why this all happened and discuss the crucial role China plays in the fight against climate catastrophe but before we do I'd like to take a quick moment to thank our Channel sponsor Aura as you all know we make political content here and on our other channels unfortunately that means some people don't like us very much these days a quick Google search is all it takes to
find someone's personal information mind support the show and protect your valuable data by signing up today at the link the foundation for China's remarkable economic Ascent was built on Ma's industrialization policies of the 1950s through the 70s but it really took off in the 1980s transforming an impoverished agricultural nation into an industrial Powerhouse within just a few decades an unprecedented achievement given its vast population of 1.4 billion people China's rapid growth has puzzled Western economists who genuinely believe free market capitalism to be the most effective approach this Swift transformation is a testament to the success
of the Chinese model of Economic Development exemplified by significant State intervention and planning two of the scariest things to Western politicians by 2016 China's per capita in it goes against our entire principle it goes against our entire world view and the only way that it was let it l okay the only thing I will say about this is the reality that China was able to sneak away by offering virt basically Free Labor okay for years and years um the only reason why it was allowed to to utilize Central planning to develop this way in such
a short period of time that confuses uh Western economists is because they were not brought to heal through direct Warfare because it was the the manufacturing hub for all of our favorite greedy capitalists that's it it was far too it was it was far too good for the profit margins uh it was it was for our for our Capital owners they were like no it's great it's fine even if they steal our IP it's fine this was basically um short of like being in writing for decades that China was like we'll be the manufacturing hub
for you you will be able to you will be able to transfer all of your uh labor to the uh Chinese economy but in return we just take your IP everybody knew that that was happening they didn't give a [ __ ] because they were like what are they going to do they can't make uh comparable products no foresight whatsoever exactly short-term short-term profit seeking um and also was quite beneficial for Capital owners because guess what they ended up undermining US Labor they ended up undermining Western labor in general that was the reason why unlike
other countries that had uh socialist or socialist adjacent projects of their own or Tred to implement some kind of central planning obviously uh one of the consequences was also uh not having the technology to be able to implement it but beyond that the reason the major reason why uh there was no Hellfire brought upon brought upon China was that it was too valuable for Capital owners okay that's it and in that time frame not because of the the uh opening of the Chinese markets that China was able to thrive it was the central planning that
continued that caused the benefits the the capital that was flowing into China to be Destro distributed as evenly as possible okay I don't even like the Steeler IP thing everyone seems to think that that's how they got good at EVS but belt and Road battery development are not stolen IP they're just Superior planning they related to the EV game but are ramping so much faster than everyone else people also complain about State subsidies but we do that too and to be honest our dollar value subsidies the EV producers are higher they just came later yeah
if you if you want to see what it would look like uh if China developed in a way that was more beneficial for capitalist without maintaining some kind of like Central planning over this vast land with a billion uh people look to India that's why a lot of neoliberals love India as the new manufacturing Hub as a counter to Chinese influence obviously it's far more complicated than just that but you know that is the major um that is the that is what it looks like when you don't have Capital when you have Capital flowing into
your foreign Capital flowing into your country but you don't have any sort of interest in um but you don't have any sort of interest uh through fascist governance uh in in implementing any sort of uh implementing any sort of of you know larger uh anti- capitalist uh planning that ends up uh benefiting as many people as possible obviously uh India was also significantly worse off in terms of its uh Colonial impact there are many different reasons for it there's a lot more uh there's a lot more inner political struggle uh India is is so vast
so is China but like uh India also has its own Litany of political complications I'm not like saying India is like one unit versus China is another these are very reductive these are very reductive terms uh in which to describe it but you know let's continue inome had surged and the country had become the world's largest manufacturer producing nearly 50% of the world's major industrial goods including crude steel cement and coal it shouldn't come as a surprise that these advances also landed them the number two spot earning the title of the world's second largest economy
meanwhile in the US traditional auto manufacturers look for any excuse to get out of the EV game so they Lobby for tariffs and then cool their production plans tariffs are not great tariffs are not for more time to ramp it's just protectionist [ __ ] because they got beat yeah but the other side of that problem is is that when you slap on tariffs and you also refuse to compete with China on EV production refuse to ramp up EV production then they're going to they're going to out compete you until like what's the plan here
just larger trucks forever just every American I'm not going to stop until every American has a Ford F450 like we're not going to stop until everyone has a baby murder machine a tank that's run on coal and oil like what are we doing the are we doing it's so ID iotic tariffs are also additionally stupid if you're going to refuse to manufacture domestically like tariffs and and protectionist uh protectionist policies such as that one are effective if you have a competitive product that you are also creating if you refuse to create a competitive product then
why the are you even slapping tariffs on that all you're doing is driving up prices it makes no sense I genuinely think I genuinely genuinely genuinely think is it's just uh it's just short-term profit seeking in general um same thing happened in the 70s with the then Japan was a dominant Auto Manu manufacturer for 50 years yeah oh I know oh I know okay I just want a goddamn Toyota crown and a Toyota hillux that's all I want this staggering growth placed China far ahead of many developed nations in industrial output and Innovation but it's
not all sunshine and rainbows as China has Industrial realized it has picked up not only the positives of western style development but also the negatives Rising divorce and suicide rates widespread business fraud and Scandals and pervasive asset bubbles it also came with an arguably far higher cost a severe environmental crisis the environmental impact of China's industrialization was profound studies conducted in zujo City revealed significant pollution from heavy metals in air water and soil heavy metals from Industrial Waste were found to settle in the sediment of the Shang River causing inconsistent changes in concentrations over time
this pollution had significant implications for both the environment and public health as heavy metals which enter the food chain lead to severe health problems the primary pollutants including cadmium lead copper and zinc were largely attributed to concentrated industrial activity yeah every car manufacturer I read this article Ford Co says the Chinese eveve industry is the biggest threat to its business CE Jim Farley went to China and was terrified Jim Farley trying to learn from his greatest competitor and is now trying to copy parts of China's electric vehicle Playbook I just want a Ford F1 f00
concept dude please please I just want it so bad I want it more than I want anything else okay that's all I want I want the Ford F100 concept EV I want it so bad please please please make it please please make it Mass produce it I swear it will sell sell out I swear also steal the Chinese IP make it uh use that like battery uh and then uh gas power generator system that they have over there I don't give a just please the is your ass going to carry in a truck first of
all it's ironic that you say this because one there I have an A surprising amount of need for a truck due to my brother and also secondly it's weirder that I drive around in a goddamn T can with this demon in the back seat barely fitting don't you guys have the Ford F-150 Lightning yeah but it's not that good it looks so sick the F100 Illuminator concept oh God I want it so bad oh oh it's so sick anyway let's continue vegetables absorbed heavy metals more easily than rice but the concentration of heavy metals in
both was higher than the edible standard and background value like other economic Powers China's environmental challenges have not been isolated the global nature of its economic activities means that pollution and environmental degradation have far-reaching consequences this is a critical consideration as China continues to play a central role in the global economy influencing environmental policies and practices worldwide while the US continues to roll back Environmental Protections under both Republican and Democrat leadership China's approach to climate change is refreshingly ambitious and they've been been meeting or exceeding many of their pledged goals the Chinese government has officially
recognized climate change as a significant threat and has set comprehensive goals to address it something not typically seen among Western Nations where there's still a debate as to whether or not it's happening during yet another hottest year on record in September 2020 president Xi Jinping announced China's aim to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060 which has and will require substantial changes in the country's economic and energy infrastructure this goal has been supported by numerous policies designed to reduce emissions and promote low carbon Technologies from 2019 to 2021 China led the world in new solar wind and
hydr power projects as well as in the production and sales of electric vehicles and deployment of nuclear power plants China's One plusus n policy framework includes long-term plans such as the 14th 5-year plan for a modern Energy System and the action plan for carbon dioxide peaking before 20130 which emphasize scaling up clean energy sources and investing in future Industries the country is currently providing the world an excellent example of what serious state level climate action looks like they engage in real diplomacy aimed at addressing real problems and Implement robust effective policies because of this approach
China is positioning itself as a global leader in renewable energy deployment and climate change mitigation over the last few years China has consistently topped Global rankings for new renewable energy capacity underscoring its commitment to sustainable energy sources the country's advancements in energy storage and grid infrastructure have been pivotal enabling the efficient integration of renewable energy into the National Grid and enhancing energy security a major part of their technological dominance comes in the form of their electric vehicle investment China has made significant strides in EVS in 2022 a quarter of all new cars purchased in China
were electric or plug-in hybrids supported by a vast network of over 4 million charging stations this rapid adoption is driven by extensive government subsidies long-term Investments and a robust infrastructure that supports these cars a comprehensive approach that's Unthinkable in the west Chinese companies like byd and catl are global leaders in EV and Battery Technology Innovative features and market share Chinese domestic manufacturers have been particularly aggressive in integrating new technologies into their vehicles such as advanced entertainment features by's quick battery swap stations are also a game changer it's interesting cuz Elon mus said he was going
to do that and then never did and then said it was impossible to do and what he meant by that was and megap onics in the chat has defended Elon Musk for saying that even though at the time it was impossible to do while maintaining uh you know the profit margins that they wanted to maintain where's megap phonics and voice activated controls making Chinese EVS highly competitive globally there is a reason the West especially the US put such absurd tariffs and import restrictions on Chinese cars why would anyone buy a $100,000 domestic car when a
Chinese model vastly out competes it in specs and price despite the popularity of electric cars China's public transport sector also showcases significant technological advance I don't think the battery swap things a game changer when Tesla did it was to game the ca credit system which was Dumb and set up to Advantage hydrogen cars but people ended up not wanting to use it they'd rather just supercharge why did you mention me I was doing work uh remember when Elon Musk remember when you defended Elon mus saying that it's impossible to do battery swap many many years
ago I never never forgave and I never forgot it might have been Fango lives that said it who's one of the other pretty sure it was megap phonics advancements China leads in the adoption of electric buses with cities like Shenzhen achieving 100% electric bus fleets in 2017 7 years ago at time of writing this transition has set a high and necessary bar for urban transport electrification the majority of the world's electric buses operate in China which has led to a massive reduction in Urban Air Pollution and greatly enhanced public transport sustainability and now we come
to one of the more controversial clean energy Alternatives I follow a Brazilian communist streamer who's very critical of China and was invited to the country by the Chinese government along with South American influencers who were completely shocked by the xiaomi factory that's [ __ ] the Chinese Government invited a critical communist Brazilian streamer okay I need to be more critical of China that's bull oh god oh no I'm critical of China in all the worst ways that they will never actually they'll they won't invite me they won't they won't invite me because the things I'm
critical of China are things that they're not going to change or things that they've done that uh they they choose not to acknowledge if I was critical of China in like dumbass ways like oh it's going to collapse any day now they probably would invite me I'm out here simping for free I saw megaphonic say that I was the battery we're talking of course about nuclear energy and here again China is making substantial progress currently constructing about a third of the world's new nuclear power capacity a massive long-term investment in energy diversification this clearly demonstrates
that the doubter will always get closer access to the Lord they aren't focused on short-term Financial gains but rather are building for the future I'm going to start subtly being like I bet these Chinese High-Speed Rail projects are [ __ ] trains can't go that fast come on prove it China what are these tier one cities what are these tier one cities all about I don't believe it I bet they're all ghost cities they're all empty it would sure be a shame if the Chinese Government invited me to go visit them in person that would
sure be bad oh man there I'd be with egg on my face if they were to prove that these tier one cities are actually technological Marvels I don't believe it there you go expansion in nuclear energy complements China's renewable energy efforts by providing a stable and lowc carbon energy Supply to support its long-term climate goals in general the renewable sector has been a major positive in the Chinese economy benefiting from a surge in government stimulus as Beijing recovered from the effects of covid-19 China's dedication to combating climate change extends to its active participation in global
climate agreements their pledged commitments under the Paris agreement are significant aiming to Peak carbon it's crazy cuz like I I already do it for free why why pay for the cow when you can get the milk for free okay they're like they're out here giving money to to streamers again to play Wukong again I already played it for free and glazed it the entire goddamn way okay that's the problem that's the problem chat I'm already given that titty milk I'm lactating like a bro on that close-up shot you could really tell that you're 35 really
you can that's crazy you you like it I'll keep doing it kindor wrong the joke about this carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and Achieve carbon neutrality by 2060 China's nationally determined contributions or ndc's reflect a genuine ambition to reduce carbon intensity and increase the share of non-fossil fuel energy sources in 2021 in the Paris agreement commitments that China submitted to the UN Beijing pledge to strictly limit coal growth strictly control new Coal Power reduce energy and carbon intensity by 2025 increase the share of non-fossil energy sources to 20% by 2025 and 25% by 2030 and
to generate 50% of the increase in energy use from 2020 to 2025 from renewable sources through these International commitments and proactive policies China is not only addressing its domestic energy needs but also contributing significantly to Global efforts to mitigate climate change now that we've looked at a successful approach which is making do you say to people that argue that the Chinese move the green energy [ __ ] and bad because of solar panels and wind turbines use materials bad for the environment or they talk about like the the uh natural resource extraction process that is
done through like incredibly unethical means and the question you should ask them is how they feel about oil and gas in general because from a utilitarian framework it's still better for the environment overall um if both of these natural resources are being extracted in in sely violent and unethical means at least one is significantly better than the other in terms of uh its impact on the environment and also I have noticed that I have noticed this argument that there'll be like well your you know your batteries like these batteries that you need to use for
EVS are are being extracted in incredibly unethical means which is crazy okay um because we've literally sent out like shell and Exxon Mobile have employed paramilitaries in places like Nigeria specifically to you know kill whichever leadership was not giving them the best possible contract so the idea that like the idea that uh that that the current oil extraction scheme uh is is far more ethical than far more ethical than like U the conflict mineral R necessary for for uh renewable energy and the battery structures that they have is ridiculous like half of the population of
oil countries are Bangladeshi slaves and the talk about human rights exactly making a meaningful impact on climate change let's look at the west and see how they're approaching apocalyptic irreversible climate change if political rhetoric is to be believed it must be better than China right let's start with the United States the approach in the world's richest and most power powerful country primarily relies on profit-driven Market solutions for the clean energy transition and climate change mitigation unfortunately we can all see how that's going despite significant technological advancements on paper the pace of adoption and implementation is
too slow to meet the Urgent demands of climate change happening right now the Reliance on the private sector has not been transformative as evidenced by the unimpressive increase in renewable energy adoption and the continued high levels of total emissions this is the key failure of the capitalist model when the choice is between more profit now and sustainable profits later the shortterm always wins out regardless of the consequences the American approach is destined for failure relying only on the Goodwill and initiative of the rich it must somehow contend with entrenched lowcost energy infrastructure the high cost
associated with rapid transition and resistance from established Industries additionally there are Financial barriers to investing in emerging Technologies especially in developing countries and lower inome households policy changes such as increased investment in scientific research ending fossil fuel subsidies and introducing carbon pricing are necessary but have been met with significant political resistance and are unlikely to be implemented in the time frame required and according to many experts we are already past that window this profit-driven model heavily influenced by Elite economic interests and the fossil fuel Lobby has caused a slow adoption of Renewables the American approach
is further undermined by the lack of comprehensive and cohesive National policies because what good is freedom if you can't refuse to cooperate state level initiatives vary widely leading to an inefficient Patchwork of regulations that are often inconsistent and insufficient this fragmented approach to policy coupled with Reliance on the Invisible Hand of the market and decentralized often childishly obstinate state government to address a global crisis requiring unified and decisive action is to put it lightly only a little less useless than plugging your ears and pretending climate change isn't happening which some states also do next we'll
look at the European Union United States light fewer calories same support for genocide the EU has adopted a regulatory and policy-driven approach to clean energy and climate change aiming for climate neutrality by 2050 this approach is far better than the US's as it relies on comprehensive legislative Frameworks and international cooperation with significant financial investments required from member states the eu's energy sector responsible for over 75% of its greenhouse gas emissions is undergoing a substantial transformation to achieve a net zero economy however this approach has its own drawbacks especially for a loose Federation like the EU
the financial burden placed on member states and the uneven implementation of policies across the union are significant obstacles the ambitious targets set by the EU require coordinated efforts from all member states which has proven to be a complex and often contentious process this mirrors some of the challenges the US is facing it turns out that implementing large scale environmental policies within a diverse political and economic Union is difficult to say the least what's more the eu's approach exacerbates economic disparities between member states wealthier countries are better equipped to make the necessary Investments and adjustments while
poorer Nations struggle to meet the same standards without significant external support and unfortunately for them their fellow member states aren't helping so despite being a collection of the richest and most powerful Nations on Earth built upon centuries of domination and their own heavily polluted past the West is not only failing to implement policies they are functionally and technologically years behind China a country that is routinely criticized for not doing enough about climate change by these very same countries and it's not just words the Western powers are actively trying to undermine China's progress the West particularly
the United States and the European Union have imposed significant sanctions and tariffs on Chinese renewable products these actions framed as hell yeah brother that's right people also argue that the North American Resource acquisition and extraction is more ethical and more regulated thus being more environmentally friendly which there is something to be said about but this is not the argument most people think it is North American Resource acquisition and extraction is not more ethical and more well regulated that is pure orientalist thought okay it's pure orientalism it's very simple that's the precise reason why people will
be like like China's policies in shinjan which were in unimaginably restricted and caused cultural genocide Mass surveillance all of this stuff are far worse than the actual literal complete genocide ethnic cleansing campaign that is being initiated in in Gaza right now to the Muslim population to the Arab population it's far worse that is precisely the reason why people always point to like uh I don't know Chinese Coast Guard pumping water at like Filipino boats or some [ __ ] in the in the South China Sea as like a massive point a a massive point of
contention in the middle of like Russia pillaging Ukraine pummeling eastern Ukraine or America uh also funding and facilitating an ethnic cleansing campaign it's like it's far worse when China does like uh I don't know Border Wars or whatever with the Indian army it's far worse like a minor infraction in comparison to like major violations of any matter of uh international law and before I oh my God I hate this argument because anytime I bring up uh shinjan there are like magah Hogs but for China that come in and go well there were extremists there what
are you supposed to do okay just not realizing that you're making the same argument that America made for its war on terror in a in a situation where I'm like currently explaining to you that obviously America's war on terror was far more consequential and far worse overall okay there is no reason to ever defend uh another country critical support means you you can criticize them you know what I mean critical support doesn't mean like unconditional support communist and neocon pipeline it's just very weird comparing it to the USA war on terror gives Americans Comfort yeah
it's ironic because xiin ping famously also said we learned it from you uh in dealing with the extremist and shinjan the point is the point is when you when you personally point to uh what other countries are doing especially especially China okay as like a far more consequential far worse threat to the world you're being silly and it is being used in my opinion as a very cynical but very deliberate uh way of trying to lighten the load and and saying that like no we're doing it better here I'll give you another example of orientalism
they have bribery in India and Pakistan right well we do too we have just regulated it so it's more ethical that way we have unlimited unrestricted campaign donations in the form of dark money right through super packs through lobbying that's just bribery it's the same [ __ ] we've just legalized it so it makes people think oh well it's far better to do it that way other countries have slavery well we've codified it to make it legal again in the form of the 13th Amendment which is supposed to abolish slavery but hasn't really abolished it
unless it is done uh within the confines of our uh Criminal Justice System we just add like one extra step and like Legalize It by different means okay and then we think that that somehow makes it better that's why our foreign adversaries have Googs and work camps we on the other half uh we on the other hand have slave labor in our prison system but that's something totally different we legalize it it's different okay it's pure American exceptionalism that's why a lot of people when I criticize China or when I criticize Russia and compare it
to the United States of America a lot of Americans who are primed to defend America and have that American exceptionalist attitude think that I'm defending these countries and their actions okay because because they genuinely do think like no when America does it it's like uh it's legal it's above board it's bad we should fix it but also it's nowhere near as bad as like other places okay yeah China really up they should have built their torture facilities on a nearby Island offshore so they could do this legally I agree anyway efforts to ensure fair trade
greatly hinder the fight against climate change the United States and the EU have established new numerous trade barriers against Chinese Renewable Energy Products which have and will continue to disrupt the Glo yes did you know that China was one of the first countries in 2001 to join the USA's war on terror also Chinese policies in Shin Jang were based on un USA deradicalization techniques for the Balan War I remember I don't know where I read it I read it in a book which is unique because I don't read a lot of books anymore but I
I cannot recall exactly what book I read this in but I remember reading directly xiin Ping's own words saying that their deradicalization techniques and their war on terror no no xiin ping himself personally said xiin ping himself I remember reading personally said that the deradicalization uh and and the deescalation of like radical islamist violence in the form of like knife attacks in these areas had to be squashed and that they were they were utilizing similar techniques or or engaging in the same exact efforts that the United States was in its war on terror Global supply
chain since 2011 the number of trade restrictions like anti-dumping and counterveiling duties has jumped from 1 to 16 with many more on the way or expected anti-dumping Duties are imposed when a foreign company sells a product in the US at a price lower than it costs to produce while countervailing Duties are added to offset the benefits that Chinese manufacturers get from government subsidies these duties range from 18 . 32% to a whopping 250% for anti-dumping and from 14.78% to 49.79 for counterveiling these high tariffs are among other things meant to make Chinese solar panels more
costly in the US which is meant to hurt China's solar industry in order to boost adoption of domestically manufactured panels which wouldn't be so bad if the US actually pushed for adoption of these domestic products instead of backing fossil fuels to the hilt similarly the European Union has imposed heavy duties on solar glass imports from China Malaysia and Taiwan the truth of the matter is that China leads the world in solar panel production by 2025 it's expected that China will control almost 95% of the global production of key solar panel components over the last decade
China has invested over $50 billion in solar manufacturing and created about 300,000 jobs in the sector far outpacing investments from Europe and the United States Chinese government policies have been crucial in driving this growth rather than the barrier that many critics claim regardless one would assume the capitalist Powers would welcome competition as that is their stated philosophy it would appear that only applies when they can win these Western imposed sanctions and tariffs obviously have serious implications and consequences for Global Climate goals accelerating the adoption of renewable energy is crucial for cutting emissions and a recent
study shows that Renewables and Energy Efficiency measures could meet 90% of emission reduction needs by 2050 renewable energy is expected to be the largest source requiring an annual increase of about 1.2% a rate much faster than what we've seen recently fully utilizing renewable energy options would significantly cut emissions achieving a 15% reduction by 2030 compared to the current path this would align with the eu's goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 40% by 2030 and help meet the Paris agreement's targets however Western sanctions and tariffs make this goal nearly impossible to reach revealing their total
disregard for the greatest existential threat human has ever faced China has emerged as a crucial and effective player in the fight against climate change their progress has been driven by a series of exceptionally successful 5-year plans which have allowed China to make the necessary vast investments in clean energy technology and to set ambitious yet attainable climate goals even exceeding some years ahead of schedule these plans have facilitated the rapid development of solar wind and Hydro power making China the global leader in renewable energy production this success stands in Stark cont contrast to the fragmented and
lackluster efforts seen in the west where policy inconsistency and lack of coordinated action hinders progress China's ability to exceed their own goals as well as those outlined by International agreements like the Paris Accord is evidence that they aren't just paying lip service to the crisis as the West does which is extremely important if there's to be long-term progress but beyond this China has been able to show the world oh um this is I don't know exactly what uh I don't know which article this comes from from BB has dropped his ambitious 2030 plan it reduces
oil and gas production by 40% and shift the Renewables three sources told Reuters okay it's from Reuters the company made the commitment in 2020 and had already watered it down last year now it is reportedly abandoned the plan entirely and will focus on new Investments to increase oil and gas output other oil Giants including shell have also walked back their energy transition goals I'm letting you know right now Chinese improvements in renewable energy is the reason okay straight up it's because we would rather sink the ship Al together than have China be the global leader
in a new way in the new method okay we would rather destroy the planet than allow China to be the global leader in in what will take the place inevitably of the fossil fuel industry as it stands currently that is precisely what happening we also have no mechanism to fight back against this because we do not adopt Central planning unless it's at the behest of uh capitalist corporations we only utilize some form of centralized planning when it actually suits the profit margins and the profit seeking interests of American corporations Central planning requires stability Central planning
requires a competent leadership a competent governments a competent uh government this is one of my many simil this is one of the many similar decisions here's what I wrote a year and a half ago last week these companies all walk back their plans in their latest earning call Shell told investors that they plan to slow their investment in renewable energy this year the company instead plans to invest heavily in natural gas of fossil fuel that produces Planet warming pollution part of the reason why they were even investing in renewable energy companies to begin with was
to Halt their progress okay that's it you actually want Central planning why wouldn't I what do you mean we already have it I would rather wish I want we already have Central planning anyone that says we don't have Central planning is wrong okay we do like what is one of the most successful industries that the United States of America has okay in terms of like unimaginable output agriculture okay how do we do agriculture in this country there's not a single agricultural producer in this nation does that that does not get a [ __ ] ton
of subsidies that is where this comes from okay the problem however is what we do with our Central planning the central planning that we engage in in the United States of America is only is only beneficial to a small percentage of shareholders it is never beneficial to the entire country it's also still heavily decentralized and beyond that uh the central planning that we have I know it sounds stupid to say but beyond beyond that not only is it simply done at the best of uh uh profit-seeking corporations okay but also on top of that it
is a private uh public partnership that America pushes for at every step of the way this kind of this kind of attitude is the reason why every single every single part of American existence seemingly gets worse and worse including but not limited to the one aspect of like American government that is supposed to always be infallible and unshakable and unbreakable the military okay it's making even the military it's making the one the one American competent uh uh government the the one American competent government organization less competent okay it's awesome so much bloat so much Corner
cutting it's great the entire Chinese economy is one big part uh public private partnership bro uh though yes except the the junior partner in that Coalition is the private companies we have the exact opposite okay in China companies work at the behest of the government in America the government works at the beest of Corporations that's the difference that's what I'm saying that's what I'm telling you it's like flipped on its head our philosophy has been our philosophy has been a real pivot towards energy transition investment toan said but we will make sure that those Investments
go into areas where we can see the line of sight towards attractive returns to be able to reward our shareholders I've always maintain the position that there's two reasons why fossil fuel companies did this one was obviously because fossil fuels are a finite resource and someday it's going to end okay there is just not going to be enough to extract they know that if I know that they know that too so that was one of the reasons why they wanted to hedge their bets for the future the other reason was so that they could and
this is very cynical so that they could basically slow the progress to ensure that renewable energies can never outcompete fossil fuels when they still have enough Frack inome that they can Frack out of the goddamn Earth wow so impressed I found the liberal Rush limbo yeah you got me I I am not a liberal World though I don't think the next day BP and like I'm over here being like we need we need competent governance in the form of central planning that is not dissimilar to the Chinese version at the very least okay and this
guy's like well that's a liberal that's awesome that it's possible to grow an economy and seriously tackle emissions while introducing cleaner solutions that don't rely on profit incentives the success of the 5-year plans has also proved the necessity of large-scale government Direction in order to accomplish a goal that the West wants you to believe can be solved by individuals buying a product with a green sticker on it which is hilarious because this was an initiative also created by the oil and gas Lobby like the industry itself decided what's an acceptable and very cool method that
we can take advant where we can take advantage of American individualism and universalize the problem as though paper straws are the reason why uh we are polluting the world when the American Military as we looked at earlier is directly responsible for more carbon pollution than like entire countries okay not universalize the problem but like individualize the problem individualize the responsibility and it worked it's so goddamn successful people are so stupid unfortunately myopic Western sanctions and tariffs on Chinese renewable products pose a serious threat to progress trade barriers not only undermine China his efforts but also
stall the global transition to clean energy making it harder to meet International climate targets and avoid the most extreme climate Fallout scenarios the West's focus on protectionist measures over collaborative progress sabotages the desperately needed united front against climate change but despite the challenges posed by Western sanctions China stands poised to lead the global community in addressing climate change and securing a sustainable future for all of us it's time that we in the west acknowledge that China isn't our our enemy it's simply an economic pure nation and we could all benefit from the advances China has
made if our own ruling class weren't so invested in the unsustainable status quo like I don't even mind tariffs honestly like I've said I don't mind like um isolationist uh trade policy or protectionist trade policy as long as you're going to also improve Manufacturing in the country if you're on the one hand continuous focusing on uh oil and gas as the primary uh energy resource and simultaneously being like and no one can have EVS the are you doing we will never stop until there is one more Lane okay we have to have one more Lane
and not only do we have to have one more Lane the cars have to get larger I will not stop until every American has a tank I will not stop until every American that is working in an ad agency in the middle of New York is driving a Ford F450 no F650 okay the trucks everyone needs a big rig hell yeah brother because that's Freedom great stuff by first thought other channel of second thought anyway says the guy was trying to buy a truck and justifies it look a big dog dog I want an F100
which is from an era where trucks were a normal size in comparison to what they are now and it's an electric truck what are you talking about no I don't want it ironically I want it unironically the issue is it's literally a significantly better size and it's an electric vehicle what are you talking about anyway electric trucks are heavier and so more dangerous uh to uh pedestrians would you ever be down to live in a condo or apartment building my entire life I have lived in apartment buildings until when until I bought this house what
are you talking about my whole life is like no dog I have to live in a house plus you live with family now which is cool yeah [Music] [Music]
