Lol. Sounds like a company joke gone wrong

i mean, if we look at a 1 year time scale of anything we can say there's a trend in any direction we want. that's why i'm looking at the trend starting from 2000s.

both can be true at once. they're increasing use of fossil fuels as well as solar and wind. here is a chart of their emissions. they're trying to transition away with it with some success and some challenges, but painting a picture like they are environmentally friendly is inaccurate.

fair but if china is buying it at such a rate they are not shifting to clean energy. i don't think the supplier matters as much as the demand. and if 34% of emissions in the US are down but our energy usage hasn't gone down then that 34% is still the US producing less emissions either because there's less necessity or demand for it.

i mean, china produces more global emissions than the US totally. they produce less per capita but still. their percentage increase in global emissions since 2000 has been +223% while the US is down 34% in terms of emissions since 2000. subsidizing green energy would be good though.

i mean, if that's the case it sounds like a valid security concern. it doesn't make sense for the US to put themselves at a disadvantage in a potential war. but why would australia not also ban BYD considering they're a US ally? don't they also provide china more manufacturing that can be used in war?

the 250lbs woman is fatter :O

just google things that have dropped in price. there's been a few

my preference 🤩

you haven't really address that the US is already dominated by foreign brands though so it doesn't make sense to exclude china specifically unless there are other reasons beyond just keeping the US companies dominant. TryingToBeGood cited security concerns which i think is probably the more likely reason.

capitalism has had some examples of lowering costs in many sectors but also had increasing costs in other sectors. it isn't always an increase though.
