So I think it’s becoming clear that wrt solar, batteries,EVs etc, we’re witnessing the dawning of full-scale industrial revolution in China, and I’m interested what people think the impact of this will be? Seems undeniable to me at this point that the disruption is going to be at least comparable in scale to the internet, but what form will it take? Who will be the winners and losers? Effort posts encouraged!
The concern I have is that China has over-optimized the renewables industry that they will dominate any export market. I don’t think EVs and co. will do anything to prevent climate change I do think it will be an important tool for imperial periphery countries to strategically utilize such as the solar boom in Pakistan.
I still think we are a ways away from the fossil fuel industry being made redundant. Oil imports as shown with chinas pattern of moving imports to countries like Canada after US sabotage efforts in venezeula will still be a tool of geopolitical advantage.
