Whilst Australia is betting the house on sunrays and breezes China is ramping up their energy security..

They’re investing in renewables and nuclear power, and coal-fired power stations will continue to be a key part of the nation's energy mix for many years. 

In fact,  Chinese authorities have approved eight new large coal-fired power stations in recent months, which are each slated to have an operational life of 40 to 60 years; the nation also accounted for 95% of the coal-fired power stations that were under construction worldwide in 2023. Tim Buckley from the Sydney-based Climate Energy Finance think-tank says China's priority is energy security rather than weaning the nation off its "coal addiction".

Meanwhile, western nations like ours are crippling themselves with the religious zealotry of Net Zero driving us rapidly over the cliff. And China are ones providing the tools byway of steal, turbines and panels to assist in pushing us over it. It beggars belief.
