    They’ve outpaced the entire world combined for the last two years in renewable deployment.

      True, I think what they have deployed the last 2 years could power the whole of Europe.

      Still a brutal dictatorship though.

      And have the smog levels outpaced the rest of the world? Have you been recently man? Making great progress yes, but they are starting from way behind.

      Agreed. But 80% better than awful is still pretty bad.

        The trend is what matters. China: electrification is going so fast it’s hard to follow. Pollution is going down very fast. The USA: cancel all plan to promote EVs and weaken regulation on gas cars: pollution is to go up. And that’s not including public transportation offset on the cars density, where China is basically 40 years ahead…

        The cross-point on air quality might be much closer than you think.

        But unlike the US, its air quality is trending positive, not negative.
