El. Oh. Fucking El.
China, who outpaces the US in not CO2 but also pumping tons of toxic metals into the Air, Water, and land is "leading in renewable energy projects" because they are damming a shit ton of rivers, displacing peasants, destroying cultural sites (because they are the cultural sites of chinese minorities and depending on the minority, they either don't care about the culture or actively want to destroy it), and fucking up life for both animals and poor farmers as normal flood cycles that brought nutrients to the land down stream are ended.
If anyone in the US tried to get any "green energy" projects of the sort the Chinese are building, you'd be calling them literally Hitler and sobbing about the environmental damage and doing everything possible to stop them.
I know, I know, a man parading around as a woman for oppression points and an Asian meal ticket is disingenuous, what a shock.
