Comments by "Maggie Chan" (@maggiechan33) on "The race for clean energy is gathering speed but who will win? | Counting the Cost" video.

Clean energy is getting cheaper because of China's technological advances; or "overcapacity" as per the US.

@NafoDato You are the biased one, existing in your comfort bubble: -For green energy, China has spent 676B, US only 303B -China is decades ahead, which is why the US has placed tariffs on Chinese EV (102%) and solar panels.
16
@NafoDato No, the tariffs were put in place due to fear of Chinese competition. By 2015, Musk had received 4.9B in subsidies, and more since then; he was crying for tariffs on Chinese EV.

@NafoDato CubicPV Inc in Mass, pulled the plug on it's "new" solar wafer factory. EnelSpA in 2022 decided to build a factory for solar cells and modules, but construction for said factory still hasn't begun. San Antonio's Mission Solar Energy wanted to triple it's manufacturing capacity in 2024, but the company hasn't begun ordering and installing equipment to boost output.
7
@NafoDato In 2009, Obama co-signed a 535M loan to Solyndra, which went bankrupted in 2011.
7
@NafoDato Even if I was quoting that Bloomberg article, those still are facts. "Market in a development phase" was when Solyndra failed; it has been 13 yrs now, and the US is not much greener, while China will be carbon neutral by 2050.
6
@yetao5801 The pretentious overlord claimed every Chinese product are both "a threat to national security" and "overcapacity".
5
Give examples.

Agree. I was surprised to learn the Chinese people themselves, demanded the central govt address their old pollution problems, thus paving the way for a 'greener China'.
3
@NafoDato Learn to read. You claimed that the US tariffs on China were to "ensure fair competition", but I argued the tariffs resulted from US's protectionism, because America can't compete with China in a free market. I referenced Musk, whom even having received enormous subsidies, still was whining for tariffs, because Chinese EV are better and outselling Tesla.
3
@NafoDato When Solyndra went bankrupted in 2011, the US carbon emission was 6.6M metric tons, a 5.9% decrease to 2023, which is not very significant. Rather disingenuous of you to cite 2005.
3
@NafoDato In the journal "Energy", Guangyue Xu et al, published 'China can reach carbon neutrality before 2050 by improving economic development quality'. China has raised 800M of its people out of poverty; a historical milestone and achievement.
3
@NafoDato The US reaching carbon neutrality by 2050 unlikely because: Some Americans couldn't even wear a mask during covid; doubt they will curtail their fossil fuel consumption. The roads of Chinese tier 1 cities - Guangzhou, Shanghai and Beijing, are dominated by Chinese EV; no the case in NYC, Chicago nor LA.

@HellBot-gi5si You really didn't learn geography in school; time to go back to the classroom..
2
Right.
2
@NafoDato You ARE being disingenuous because I mentioned 2011 for "not much US progress", but you insidiously keep referencing 2005, when the American carbon emission was the highest since 1990. AGAIN, learn to read what I posted.
2
@NafoDato You are the last person in world that should write about "impartiality". Besides your obvious subjectivity, you should NOT be so arrogant, to even advise others what to post !

@NafoDato Green politician Erik Solheim: "...it puts China on the front line as the # 1 environment protection nation of the world, which is an enormous achievement, and that turned themselves (China) into the absolute powerhouse of green production, electric cars, electric trains, metros. China is leading in every single sector...60% of the world electric cars, 70% of high speed green rails, 60% of metros and 95% of electric buses run in China alone".
2
@RealConstructor Chinese population 1.425 B, the US - 336 M. In the course of it's 5000 yrs of history, the Chinese population has suffered enormously; hopefully that is changing. But with this "suffering" the Chinese are more tolerant of sacrifices "for the benefit of the whole" as opposed to the "me first" mentality of too many Americans. Yes, presently China is emitting more carbon than others, but one should calculate the cumulative carbon emisson since the ~1760 American industrial revolution. (That "old American" carbon is still in the atmosphere.) I was surprised to learn that Erik Solheim said it WAS the Chinese people whom pushed Beijing to address their pollution problems, which in turn spearheaded their green revolution. I still believe China will achieve carbon neutrality before the US.

@rp9674 Agree !!!

@HellBot-gi5si You are a racist fool whom also don't know about gender.
1
@HellBot-gi5si You are a bigot, also clueless about gender.
1
@HellBot-gi5si Bigot bot, learn about gender.
1
@HellBot-gi5si You are wrong and racist.
1
@HellBot-gi5si Keep digging your racist hole. You don't even know gender.
1
@HellBot-gi5si Keep digging your racist hole. I pity those whom must live with you.
1
@HellBot-gi5si Keep digging your hole, bigot.
1
@HellBot-gi5si I pity those whom have to live with you.
1
@HellBot-gi5si Once a bigot, always a bigot.
1
@HellBot-gi5si You are so ignorant that you just assume I am a Chinese national.
1
@HellBot-gi5si The bigot wrote the racist term "Chinaman".
1
@HellBot-gi5si You also need to go back to school to learn about gender.
1
@HellBot-gi5si The bigot wrote "Chinaman".
1
@HellBot-gi5si Racist you wrote "Chinaman".
1
@HellBot-gi5si You are a real "genius" to assume I am a Chinese national.
1
@HellBot-gi5si Your last comment only confirms your "intelligence" or lack thereof.

@NafoDato China aims to be carbon neutral by 2050; they will reach their goal BEFORE 2050.
1
@NafoDato China aims to be carbon neutral in 2050; they will reach their goal before 2050.
1
@NafoDato The US reaching carbon neutrality by 2050 unlikely because: -Americans couldn't even wear a simple mask during Covid; highly doubt they will relinquish their copious energy consumption. -Dumb to believe biden whom said Hamas "beheaded babies", criticized Trump for imposing tariffs on China, then followed suit. -Chinese tier 1 cities, Guangzhou, Shanghai and Beijing have their streets and highways overwhelmingly dominated by EV, which isn't the case in NYC, Chicago nor LA.

@RealConstructor It is ALSO how cooperative your citizens will be. I live in a NJ apt complex; many of the other residents won't even flatten their tissue boxes for recycling, have repeatedly smoked, even though our bldg is a 'smoke free venue', already turned on their gas generated AC, even though the hottest it has been is the mid 80's. My neighbor said she has to have her central air/furnace filters changed quarterly, because of the copious use. (I, being a frugal Cantonese-American, used an electric fan and air cooler last summer; plan to do the same this summer. In the winter, I set my thermostat at 62 during the day, 58 at night.)

@NafoDato BRI, with >150 nations, has lifted 40M people out of poverty globally. BRI is so successful that biden tried to copy it: the european-indo corridor, while using BRI infrastructure. -gwadar port built by China. -China is the primary contractor for the trains in uae and s arabia. -Even the haifa port was upgraded by China -Infrastructure in greece, again from BRI.
1
@NafoDato I know you are condescendingly arrogant and I have a right to to post about your prejudices. Your post of "NJ/NY/CT" residents being 'stereotypical' confirms your biases.
1
@NafoDato If BRI is "controversial", why did biden tried to copy it with his european-indo corridor, exploiting BRI built infrastructure. ???
1
@NafoDato Save your condescending "compliments" for those unfortunate individuals, whom have to live with you.
1
@NafoDato Right, bri is so "controversial" that biden tried to copy it with his economic corridor, exploiting already built bri infrastructure.
1
@NafoDato You keep perniciously citing "2005", when I posted, "...was when Solyndra failed; it has been 13 yrs now and the US is not much greener...". 2024 - 13 = 2011. Learn math besides reading.
1
@NafoDato The problem is you can't argue my points, and you insidiously keep referencing 2005, when I had initially cited 2011.
1
@NafoDato You should talk to the 40M people lifted out of poverty globally, to see how "controversial" BRI is.
1
@NafoDato BRI is so "controversial" that biden tried to copy it with: -2022 partnership for global infrastructure and investment -2023 imec
1
@NafoDato Right, BRI is "controversial" and that is why biden tried to copy it x3.
1
@NafoDato biden admires bri so much that he copied it 3 times.
1
@NafoDato Bet you don't know build back better America, partnership for global infrastructure and investment, and imec are all copying "controversial" BRI.
1
@NafoDato Biden thinks BRI is so "controversial: that he copied it.
1
@NafoDato All you know is to post babble.
1
@NafoDato China produces 36% of the global goods, while the US only 12%, so China should be emitting 3 times more carbon than the US. Even with your numbers, China is emitting less than 3x the US. Factoring in that the Chinese population is 4.24x that of the US, the Chinese per capita emission, is way below an American.
1
@NafoDato You are too dense to understand my comments to RealConstructor, NOT you !
1
@NafoDato Daniel Runde: "I I hate it! Because BRI is a great idea idea! It inspires folks in the Global South, but it's just not our idea." Runde is Sr VP at Ctr for Strategic and International Studies
1
@NafoDato Haha, you don't even know a single synonym for "dense". So who is obtuse ???
1
@NafoDato China is presently emitting the most carbon because it produces 36% of global goods, and it is accelerating it's speed to reach carbon neutrality. The US per capita, emits almost twice the amount of carbon -14.44, vs China's 8.85.
1
@NafoDato The problem is you are an old fart, whom thinks your country is the only good nation globally, while it keeps making wars.
1
@NafoDato I agree that you are not transparent; I think everyone should be transparent, clear and honest.
1
@NafoDato You must have Alzheimer. It was you, 3 days ago, whom first brought up BRI, when you insulted Solheim; you should have been careful with your posts. I am going to continue to post about BRI, since you raised this topic, just to irk you, and there isn't anything you can do.
1
@NafoDato More than 150 of the 195 nations in the world, are in China's BRI. China has spent $1trillion, to help mainly citizens of the Global South via BRI. The US and japan have tried to copy China's BRI.
1
@NafoDato Daniel Runde: "I hate it! Because BRI is a great idea! It inspires folks in the Global South, but it's just not our idea.". Runde is sr vp at ctr for strategic and international studies.
1
@NafoDato As per London's Ctr for Economics and Business Research, BRI is likely to increase the global GDP by $7.1 trillion per annum by 2040, and the benefits will be widespread.
1
@NafoDato The countries in China's BRI is almost 75% of the global population, and accounts for > half of the world's GDP.
1
@NafoDato You are just an old fart desperately clinging to the past. Where did I "copy and paste" the previous sentence from, haha???
1
@NafoDato China will reach carbon neutrality before the US because: -since it's industrial revolution, America has emitted more carbon than China -the green energy advancements in China far exceed the those of the US.
1
@NafoDato Your nation is also responsible for the carbon emitted by the Middle East conflict.
1
@NafoDato China will reach carbon neutrality before the US because: -historically America has emitted more carbon -China is far ahead with it's green energy advancements.
1
@NafoDato China will reach carbon neutrality before the US because: -Beijing has prioritized green energy advancement -Chinese citizens more likely to cooperate with clean environmental policies -historically the US had emitted more carbon
1
@NafoDato Antonio Guterres has described BRI as capable of accelerating the UN sustainable development goals.
1
@NafoDato African nations view BRI as a tremendous opportunity for independence from foreign influence and aid.
1
@NafoDato Even wealthy, pro-west Singapore has repeatedly endorsed BRI, and cooperated in related projects.
1
@NafoDato Greece, Croatia, and 14 other east european countries are in BRI. Former Greek minister of finance, Varoufakis, wrote that his experience with BRI has been highly encouraging.

@marlcastro4352 If China "copied tesla", why did musk in 1/24 say about Chinese EV, "...if there are no trade barriers established, they will pretty much demolish most other companies in the world" ??? (Source - Forbes)
1
@marlcastro4352 Right. China "copied tesla", and that is why BYD is beating tesla.
