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!
I don’t think I’m quite ready to abandon degrowth tbqh but it is certainly striking how here in Europe we are sweating over every watt, with energy ratings and insulation and heat pumps etc, while in China they have more renewable energy than they know what to do with.
Efficiency is always a good thing ofc, but China is once again challenging my preconceptions
