Comment on Trump Is Obsessed With Oil. But Chinese Batteries Will Soon Run the World
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 2 days agoAustralia’s economy has been in a tailspin precisely because China hasn’t been buying enough coal.
Fortunately, India has picked up the slack at the prodding of fossil fuel interests.

Not it hasnt. A small drop in exports to china isnt enough to send the austrialian economy into a tailspin. Chinese coal imports globally dropped only 9% last year (and domestic production increased to meet that deficit for all those thinking china isnt polluting the world). Keep in mind this 9% decrease comes after a record amount of coal imports in 2024.
