The conspiracy is strong with this one.

Of course it's free. Tell us where/who we pay to get the sun's rays and wind. Everything you mentioned is a one-off cost with occasional maintenance expense and not a 24/7/365 expense.

What about the places that rely on glaciers for their fresh water? What happens when they have melted to nothing?

And it melts the glaciers that some countries rely on for fresh water. once the glaciers are gone, expect mass migration.

Yep, considering every fossil plant produces 70% wasted energy in the form of heat.

You'll find it different, they've been replacing all the public transport vehicles with EV versions. Has LA still got its dark cloud?

"Busy Chinese cities are still a smog infused cesspit of noxious fumes." - you are way out of date. People visiting the big cities are finding them cleaner because they've replaced diesel busses, taxis, small motor bikes with EV versions, visiting Westerners say they can actually hear birds in the cities now because its so quiet.

You never mention China retiring the old dirtier coal plants and replacing them with more efficient coal plants that are being used more like peaker plants

ICE are deporting people who are going through the naturalisation system too, picking them up at the interviews so its not just "illegals" that people employ to farm the land and shitty jobs they are deporting and shooting innocent people in the head

"Per capita is used to greenwash" - that sort of dumb rationale is only used by dirty wasters.

China is the Wests' manufacturing base so why not work out how much power is used by western firms (and firms supplying the West) in China and then subtract it from China's quota and add it to the country that should own it and do the same with CO2 output.

Thats a long post when you should have realised that people just want to stop burning fossil fuels, every other use oil etc is more or less fine as long as you can recycle it in some way.

FFS.. the electricity price in the UK is driven by the price of gas, not renewables

Its not too bad as it should really be at least 3 times more than the USA especially when its being the West's manufacturing site. Its a bit of a slam on the inefficiencies of the USA which will get worse as the orange destruction of environmental improvements gets worse.

Funny how hydro generated power has been in operation all through the decades of fossil based power generation.

Coal and gas plants are a half-assed solution, you need to dig up fuel for them 24/7/365 and transport it to them. Germany's electricity price is based on the price of gas
