NATO’s 5% Pledge: An Obscene Betrayal of Global Needs
- Thread starter oil&gas
- Start date
Because the West has off loaded it's industrial capacity to China.
China is also the world leader in developing and implementing green, sustainable energy.
They're light years ahead.
Is Carney's 5% based on taking trump's 51st state threats seriously and prepping defence against US invasion?
China now owns the solar cell market with the US being forced out of production by trump and the oil$gas industry.
They installed 93GW of solar in May this year alone. That's more electricity than the US uses in total.
China Smashes Solar Installation Record | OilPrice.com
China set a global record by installing 93 GW of solar capacity in May, surpassing any other country's full-year total, though growth is expected to slow due to new regulatory changes.

China breaks more records with surge in solar and wind power
Between January and May, China added 198 GW of solar and 46 GW of wind, enough to generate as much electricity as Indonesia or Turkey

If China does this, it will be the end of the oil$gas rule.
China's Plans to Produce Renewable Energy in Space
China’s 1km-wide solar array in space is expected to collect as much energy in a year as the total amount of oil that can be extracted from the Earth

really ????
according to your bullshit climate change rhetoric if China does this we are all doomed
I guess you will always make excuses and give a free pass for evil totalitarian communist rule
what a dishonest and pathetic excuse for a human you are frankfooter
you make my skin crawl
The real driving force moving China's renewable energy development
forward in such a rapid pace might have been overlooked by the west.
Climate activists are fond of pointing to the remarkably
rapid deployment of solar and wind power in China as the
model of successful transition to renewable energy for mitigating
climate change.
In reality China has no choice but to expedite development
of renewable energy for prosperity now and for its own survival
in the near future.
China understands the world is steadily running out of low
cost undeveloped fossil fuel resources. It is just a matter of
time before coal, oil and gas are no longer affordable. China
knows all too well the time to kick start the transition to the
era of expensive fossil fuel is NOW when oil and gas are still
abundant and reasonably cheap.

Yet the share of power generated from coal has dropped from nearly 80% to 60% during that time.
wrong
AI Overview
Global coal reserves are vast, with proven reserves estimated to last for over a century at current consumption rates.
AI Overview
In 2024, global oil consumption reached a new high of 101.8 million barrels per day (bpd), while proven oil reserves were estimated at 1,765.2 billion barrels.
AI Overview
Global natural gas reserves are estimated to last for about 53 years at current consumption rates, but this doesn't account for untapped or developing reserves. While reserves are finite, advancements in exploration and technology, like shale gas extraction, are constantly adding to the potential supply.
no, he doesn’t want to be called out on the world stage, he will just fail to deliver.
Because have to Import their oil and gas.
‘China is also building 90% of the worlds new coal plants.
Coal power is lower cost than wind and solar. It makes sense
to use up earth's remaining coal reserves while the west is phasing
it out all for fighting climate change.
So what?
Their emissions to industrial output is relatively the same to the U.S. while their manufacturing is more energy intensive and requires more resource refinement.
China's population is 4x that of U.S.
At the same time they're the world leaders in green energy while the U.S. is backtracking.
As well, their coal production capacity is also a strategic hedge against energy supply shortfalls due to security concerns.
I was giving you a rationale, you're just looking to point your ideological finger with no context at all.

Its the easy way for politicians, you know you will be out of office in 4-10 years so why bother planning for something that takes that long.
Its one of the failures of democracy.
I hadn't realized how old you are.
That hasn't been true for a decade or so now.
Solar's cost has dropped by 85% over the last decade.
Not so for coal, oil or gas.
