I took it out of the meme to avoid seeming cluttered, but I must mention that they don’t just want USian corporations to have the monopoly. Renewables are at odds with capitalism and capitalists know oil is more lucrative than less labor intensive alternatives. Ted Reese makes a strong explanation for the lack of adoption of hemp and solar in SoE.

Wow! Imagine if China implemented a policy to prevent people from having kids, or had a giant monopolistic corporation that didn't care about green energy! That would be horrible!

That's the most pathetic lib gotcha I've seen in a while. The one child policy made sense at the time considering the low development they started with and the time it takes to build up and support a bigger population, but you know there were exemptions for minorities and it's not a thing anymore. Second thing, idk what you're talking about, but yes bad corporations do business in China. That doesn't take away from the fact that the PRC is doing way more for the climate than the rest of us.
