    I remember back around maybe…15 years ago or so? There was a lot of fearmongering about the Bad Guy Countries potentially doing this because they want to be “lazy” and don’t want to invest in green energy.

    Well, now that China is the #1 producer of green energy, suddenly all the capitalist bootlickers are insisting we should scorch the sky Matrix style to own the commies.

      They actually said that? Pfft. That’s rich.

      I had to see a both sidesed video in school where it presented one of the drawbacks of green energy as “will we have to say goodbye to the American way of life?” Even I saw the situation as American businessmen and governments alike simply being too lazy, too hedonistic to do the right thing. We all know it’s the right thing to do, but nope too lazy.

      Even as a liberal kid that was an enthusiastic yes from me. Brits were on one side getting unviersal healthcare and living in a beautiful country with tons of architecture and I’m stuck on some boring ass shithole with nothing to do but go to walmart and consoom corn syrup?

      Sorry, my inner BMF was coming out.
