Comment on Tesla sales plunge 40% in Europe as Chinese EV rival BYD's triple
Ulrich@feddit.org 2 months agoLOOOOOLOLOLOL have you looked at China’s greenhouse gas contributions lately? They don’t give a fuck about the climate, they’re just trying to drive other countries out of the market.

That’s per Capita, China has like 30 billion more citizens.

Per capita is the measure that counts, why should Americans be allowed to put multiple times more CO2 into the air than other people?

They also manufacture the rest of the world’s shit. So all in all they’re pretty clean for how big they are.

Maybe YOU should give another look at those figures.
Specially the ones relative to the % of new renewables put into production during the last years.
Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Chinese carbon emissions may have peaked this year and they’ve deployed more renewables than the rest of the world combined.

That’s because they’re also heavily subsidizing that industry out of self-interest. That’s the “emerging markets” I mentioned above.
Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Which sounds like a good idea for everybody. Maybe other countries should do the same thing.
I’m no fan of West Taiwan but they’re doing a lot more to decarbonize than most other major economies.

Like always, it’s a great idea, right up until China jacks up the prices after they’ve driven out all the competition and it no longer makes sense to buy them anymore.

Oh no, a country acts out of self-interest! A concept that is completely foreign to the West 😱 At least their “self-interest“ has cheaper EVs for the rest of the world as a result. What are the coeffects of the US defending their self-interests? Rise in facism? Another genocide?

Once again, I am not having a pissing match about which country is better, I am discussing the success of electric vehicles from China.
Amberskin@europe.pub 2 months ago
They are subsiding the deployment of clean energy sources?
Good for them. And good for the world.
Ulrich@feddit.org 2 months ago
Sure, it’s great for everyone, right up until it’s not anymore because they’ve erased the competition and then jacked up the prices to the point that common people can’t afford them, and further driven down workers’ wages in the process.
Is no one else familiar with the concept of Predatory Pricing?
