It's a repost, but I'm leaving it up for now because of how late I caught it.
This is blowing my mind a little bit.
Why would China want a habitable biosphere unless they were really planning to live in it?
Good. Everyone knows it. It's not news unless you've been living under a rock.
But at what cost...?
Nothing major.
China has made significant investments in solar and nuclear technology specifically designed to reduce costs per unit of energy to make it competitive to fossil fuels.
One can hope! Or maybe that's just the economy slowing down, as anyone walking the streets of Shanghai pre and post COVID could tell.
