Growing worldwide energy demand and other factors have shifted the calculus, but hurdles still lie ahead.

    You could, but with that colossal amount of resources you could have built 12x in renewables, probably more because of economy of scale.

    And if you decide to commit all those resources to renewables, you probably just created a booming local industry of well paying jobs.

      But then you still haven’t solved any of the issues with renewables (at least solar and wind); The amount of space they take up, their inconsistent power output and power grids which haven’t been designed for them.

        It saddens me that we’re here dealing with a push for obsolete, untenable solutions, and all the while, China keeps solving your “impossible issues” on the daily:

          That’s what happens when not everything is privatised and only made for direct profit, I suppose
