That was literally the topic of one of the links

One on faking a facade to look greener than they are and one on scamming a foreign country on that country’s carbon market. I see nothing like you claim.

need to put up such a contract to tendering

Verizon already has a $2.4 billion, 15-year contract to replace all that copper wire with lightning-fast fiber-optic cables.

who needs Air Traffic Control communications working during bad weather anyway?

1. This is to replace the ancient network connecting existing centers and towers. Some of it is to facilitate handoffs from local control to enroute and all along the way, and make flight plans available wherever they may be
2. I hope you’re joking. In normal circumstances even in controlled airspace they use a lot of “see and avoid”. Review that accident with the helicopter in DC to see what can happen when this fails. However in bad weather flights can be completely dependent on atc to avoid other traffic.

Everywhere else in the country they still have to rely on ICE transport out of practicality.

Just like the people using this as reason US can’t electrify transportation, the real answer is this is irrelevant.

• US has 80% of its population in urban, so whatever the people in rural areas use for transportation is just a small piece. They’re fine.
• While I have no idea whether China has a similar population pattern, I can look at a picture of their high speed rail map and see it cover most of the country. I can also feel confident that a vast majority of their economic activity is in cities. Whatever people in rural areas do for transportation is just a small piece. They’re fine

their renewable initiatives (outside of EVs) are giant shams.

Feel free to look up what country most of the world’s solar panels are produced in. Feel free to look up what country has the most high speed rail miles. Feel free to look up what country created the world’s biggest hydroelectric project. Feel free to look up which countries are leveling off carbon emissions ahead of commitments

It’s a shit country with no human rights, but their leadership does seem to understand the need for renewable energy and reduced carbon, much more than my country’s leadership does

I don’t know what that is so can’t be offended, but don’t be blinded by the lies rolling agenda that any country is bad: even the worst regimes sometimes do good things

What does “high speed rail” and “BEV buses” have to do with the discussion about renewable energy?

Everything. Renewable energy is not just renewable electricity generation but applying it to more energy users. A Deisel bus is a dirty polluter that can’t use renewable energy, but a battery electric bus is a way to use renewable energy for transportation.

One of the fundamental requirements of more renewable energy is “electrify everything”. Electricity becomes the distribution medium letting us use renewable energy for more things

Yeah, the Krasnov stuff is somewhat funny in a dark way, but he definitely serves Russian good over US good, whether he’s an official asset or not. If his actions are treasonous, does it matter whether he’s been recruited?

And more renewable energy. And more high speed rail. And has over 90% of the worlds BEV buses.

There’s some truth to Chinas claim that they’re still a developing country and they need to massively build out to bring more of their population up to developed standards.

There’s also some truth to the claim that central planning without regard to supply and demand means they seem to be building out more power than they can use. Hopefully that translates into coal power plants going unused

Now that’s an idea! Hit us back where it hurts, right in the oligarchs

Yep, taking Western money by Chinese companies buying Chinese renewable energy equipment and paying Chinese installers. Taking western money by building out renewable energy faster than the rest of the world combined, in their own country using their own companies with their own finances

Pain is fine. Pain is deserved. Pain needs to either be felt as a whole or target the most deserving.

But shutting off electricity mainly affects people without any power (😁) and that had the awareness to vote against this horror. Trump and co will just laugh “see the poor snowflake liberals what happens when they import clean electricity instead of good old American coal”.

I can’t argue that we don’t deserve it but I can hope for something more likely to help make a difference

Trump won’t care. Mostly hits blue states. He will probably cackle
