Good. I assume it helps that most of the world's solar panel manufacturing is based in China.

The rest of the world should be ramping up production, not relying on China for cheap labour.

I keep seeing more and more about the solar production in Georgia, USA ramping up!

It great to see the world really going into green industrialzation.

its obviously good for the rest of the world to industrialize, but they would just be moving carbon emissions from china to themselves.

they themselves would need to transition to renewables if we want this move to be good for the climate.

That would be the point of making panels and wind turbines themselves.

Ideally you'd want enough manufacturing capacity to power your whole country with renewables, in the time it takes for the first bits to start needing replacements.

well arab countries have visited them and found no problem and mass refugee movements arent happening. i think they should be fine.

I trust the Arab countrys as far as I could throw them. Get the Irish in there and I may take such claims seriously.

the conspiracy is that the arabs are complicit with their own secret genocide then? what do the irish have to do with an arab genocide? 🤣

[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago

What do Arabs have to do a Turkic genocide? You are conflating Muslim and Arab.

[-] umbrella@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 months ago

by all means, get the irish to show us whats happening there then.
