Where is your wind and solar power supposed to come from now that the strait of Hormuz is blocked?

@schratze Sorry, can't power your nation because nuclear winter blocked out the sun

It's wild how the "intermittency" criticism of solar and wind keeps raising its head, like a centipede that won't die.
meanwhile, China's like: ok, smell ya' laters!!

@schratze we're just one strait short of demolishing the economy. Between oil, shipping, and AI shortages I'm sure we could ruin it real good

@gardengeek @schratze also I love how china went from "there's no point in us doing anything because china burns all the coal" to "well china managed to do it, why aren't we?"

@disisdeguey @rune @schratze i'm afraid we're long past the point where we could accidentally ”give them ideas” with our morbid joking

@emily_s @gardengeek @schratze a Chinese VC corrected this for me with the most scary thing: "china is building more coal plants than ever before"
Last year was an 18y high according to Forbes. Chills me to the bone tbh.

@iwein @emily_s @gardengeek @schratze Nevertheless the share of China's energy that comes from coal is declining fast and will continue to do so

Furthermore, some of the new coal plants replace older inefficient ones and produce fewer emissions.
One would almost think the Chinese have expected trouble in t' gulf and planned accordingly.

@schratze I would say that we have many mathematical models for predicting renewables too. But I'd not be surprised it that was the case for fossil fuels too

@iwein @emily_s @gardengeek @schratze
lots of conflicting stories going around. hard to know what to believe. according to these two sources, china has been decreasing coal use for the last four years.https://www.macrotrends.net/global-metrics/countries/chn/china/coal-usage-consumption
