Uruguay did what most nations still call impossible: it built a power grid that runs almost entirely on renewables—at half the cost of fossil fuels. The physicist who led that transformation says the same playbook could work anywhere—if governments have the courage to change the rules.

@mike805 @roblosricos @Npars01
the cost of the climate crisis and vile regimes matter too
you fund russia, russia kills people, you have a couple of EF5s in nebraska, you kill people
of course, the "decision makers" don't know or don't care, but that remains the truth

@mike805 @roblosricos @Npars01
you're still going to consume fossil fuels no matter what
obviously if you get the civilian transportation and heating infrastructure off it you make a big dent. make it cheaper too
the goal isn't perfection mike, that's an invalid perspective
-
@mike805 @roblosricos @Npars01 @benroyce
Most petro-state's primary benefit from having fossil fuels is the ability to export them. If the non petro-states transition to renewables (which provides both environmental and national security benefits to them) it cuts off the export markets the petro-states rely on and that will force the petro-states to adopt green technology in turn.

yes of course
fossil fuels fund vile regimes
and there's climate change
but even if we forget morality or good strategy: it's fucking cheaper
the problem is it requires investment

It’s a nice piece. But Forbes avoids mentioning that the interviewee, “Energy Minister from 2008 to 2015”, was a member of a Broad Front government.
As China continues to show, strong socialist policies support converting to renewables. Meanwhile, free market economies support what the powerful industrialists prefer.
Want Greener policies? Get a more socialist government!

I understand.
I am very sympathetic to Xi. I lived in rural Western China for a year and I saw the effects of his policies on ordinary people. The reopening of the Shanghai stock exchange was by his predecessor. Xi has taken the revenue generated and poured it into public projects, aimed at lifting people out of poverty; cheaper energy, cheaper and more efficient public transport, government subsidies for opening mom & pop stores, fixed prices for food, and so on.
I often repeat the point that Xi knows what it’s like to go to school without shoes. I honestly believe that his support for the nation’s poorest people is heartfelt and genuine.

@benroyce @roblosricos @Npars01 One of my brighter students referred to China’s economy as “managed free market”. It’s a lovely tongue in cheek observation.
Further, I grew up in a capitalist UK economy that coexisted with a socialist welfare state. Aspects of Xi’s China have some similarities to mid 20th century UK Labour attempts at a halfway house. Fortunately, China doesn’t have a Tory Party dominating the national media, so the social projects should last longer.

my friend
you can declare yourself a friend of the people
or you can declare yourself a friend of this:
China's Xi allowed to remain 'president for life' as term limits removed
China's Xi Jinping could stay in power indefinitely after parliament backs constitutional changes.
(www.bbc.com)
you can't do both
you're not an idiot. you know where that leads
and yes, the average citizen of china has put aside freedoms and rights because economic growth is a rocket ship
you do to?
and might i remind you, it's all due to capitalism
i don't champion capitalism. but it means you referring to socialism here is a puzzle

ah
so you believe, under an autocratic system as in china, as opposed to a democratic system as in the uk, that there is a better chance for plutocratic forces to fade and socialist forces to dominate
that's a very interesting belief my friend, to put it as mildly as possible
