It is already happening all over the world.

Just not in your yahoo country.

In most countries, no one "replaces" a gasoline car. They phase it out and by a new car. 50% of the new car decisions are electric.

People who never had a car, most of all times by electric.

In ten years a used non electric car is unsellable.

It's wonderful they are increasing their solar sector but we need them to stop using coal.
Nope.
We need _EVERYONE_ to stop using coal. And for that matter: Gas, and as we are on it: Oil.

And as long as you have not done your share, you have no right to put pressure on any other one.

China is actually pretty heavy hit, just like any other South East Asian country.

Also I really wonder about such brain dead comments that get modded insightful.

How exactly does Solar Energy put gasoline into the fuel station, or oil into your house heating or gas into your cooking fire?

Oh? Ah, you want to point out that China is rolling out EVs massively? Well, they do that anyway, has nothing to do with the war.

How about those people who intentionally buy American and hardly buy anything else? Should they be reimbursed?
Reimbursed on what?
They did not spent anything on tariffs ...

i.e. the costs of the tariffs were shared and prices weren't raised as much as the costs. Sorting this sort of thing out is just about impossible.
No it is not. It is a simple or complex as filing a tax report.
Have an extra line like VAT spent, and call it ... let me think:
"Tariffs: " - oh, that was easy.

Note: if you import something and pay a tariff, you get a tariff bill/invoice ... just like any other ordinary invoce.

They actually have since about 3 or 4 years optical AI inference chips, about 1000 times faster than GPUs and roughly 10,000 times more energy efficient.

Germany has some companies working in the same areas, I know about 2 ... not sure how many in total.
Then Asia is shifting to Gallium Nitrit semi conductors, at least in high voltage/power computing, chargers and similar things.

Per Capita is the only correct meaning.
Especially if it is the PERSON doing the pollution, like YOU do, and not the country as a total.

YOU as a person has 2 times higher foot print than a typical European, and probably 10 times higher them ME.

YOU as a person has the 4 times higher foot print than an Chinese as a person.

Industry is completely irrelevant as long as you use 10kWh per day yourself, not even counting your car usage.

A typical Chinese uses 2 or 3kWh per day, in his household.

China as a country is just barely above USA in energy consumption or CO2 emissions.

Get a clue.
