Apparently China hit the Clean Energy Goal 6 years early. This is pretty cool but also incredible, so I researched how this happened and found: 1. Smart policy (whole country rooftop solar panels + desert mega-base projects) 2. Increased demand such that builders didn't even need subsidies 3. The gloomy outlook at the point when the forecast & target were set (2020) https://x.com/pretentiouswhat/status/1827561942833373467

Do a deep dive on solar panel manufacturing. There is nothing "clean" about it.

But once they're produced, they last for decades. Way cleaner than carbon based still

And lack the energy density to fuel AI, crypto, and the modern internet. Nuclear is the only "clean" way out unless you just want to get Tedpilled and just trade chickens and shiny rocks.
