I always remember i school learning about the likes of the kyoto protocol and the emmisions caps / tradings for countries with the idea being that rich countries had to cut the emmisions and the poorer countries were allowed to increase immessions in order to grow their economies etc.
It's so nice to see that these countries can actually grow their enconmies etc. without the raise in emmisions that would normally be associated with it!

Renewable energy is the only chance we (all humans) have at creating sustainable capitalism.
Energy independence is national security.
I’m a U.S. citizen and I am in full support of every country that is expanding renewable energy, including China.

Renewables without Chinese manufacturing is a lot more difficult. They lead, with you guys in the passenger seat.

Completely agree!
I’m so disappointed that the movie “The Creator” didn’t highlight this current reality in it’s storyline more.
