China Is Beating the Pants Off the U.S. in Clean EnergyPosted on Mar 25, 2010
China invested nearly twice as much money—$34.6 billion—in clean energy projects in 2009 as the United States.

Hate to piss on your parade, but there is no such thing as “green energy” in the oil-based economy of our miserable world. I don’t know where did you people get the idea that by installing wind-harvesting facilities and building hybrid cars, in every tire of which there are still 7 gallons of oil and which interior plastics and exterior paint contains oil-derived materials, you are going to change and even reverse the process of climate change. Another arrogant human attempt to try and save the planet, we don’t give a shit about people but we are going to save the planet all right.

Gonna have to speak to these reactionary religious fanatics and the oil, coal and nuclear kings who deny global warming and nuclear dangers, and persuade them to allow this country to get on with wind and solar energy production and use. Seems we are getting farther and farther behind.

Green power provides jobs and a clean environment. The Chinese think Confucious, while the West is in confusion.
