I hate this fucking planet, "counter" green energy ? For fucking real ? They all need to die in capitalist hell.
That's not what is critizised here, is it?
I might misunderstand but I thought the cheap production of necessary components for green energy coming from China, only possible by shortcuts of reducing worker rights or otherwise exploitation of ressources, should be countered.
Do you really think this is why they're against it ?
I'm not saying we should encourage pour working conditions, but there's a lot of things that are exaggerated or straight up lies and we as "the north" should stop pointing fingers at other countries that do much more than us for the green transition. There's a lot of lies being spread regarding and, there's green hardware being produced there but also a lot of research and r & d.
High ranking business man are more scared of China being ahead tech wise rather than production wise, and with all the microchip drama this is bound to happen.
I also agree with you. I think it is one of the factors at play here. But your argument is a big one, too. We outsourced a lot of production and thus knowhow which they have adopted and improved upon. The possibility of a tech wise dependence on one nation gives a lot of power to those, which is also why certain technology sectors should be brought back.
So you say that is the reason for this decision?
Thank you for answering my question.
