Makes me wonder what will happen should China fully switch to renewables and nuclear, as seems to be the plan

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 weeks ago

Gas is still useful for other things, for example it's a major component of fertilizers.

Yeah. China is doing the right thing by switching to a renewable energy economy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. If that switch is so virtuous, why celebrate increased gas imports?

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 weeks ago

The obvious answer is that China is still in the process of transition, and renewables can't handle the entire energy demand?
