What kind of argument is that? lmao. The US is also installing wind turbines, they are based communists!

I could be wrong about fossil fuel industry supporting wind turbines, but you can’t make the argument that just because China does something that means that thing is automatically good.

The WEF is all gung-ho for wind power: https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2023/05/greenertower-greener-steel-wind-power/

I guess the WEF is a bunch of communists and we should do everything they say.

Wind turbines are dumb and worse than nuclear power, I don’t care if Lenin himself rises from the dead and says wind power is the most communist thing ever.

China has triple the total wind power that the US does. The US added 18 GW of total capacity last year, and China added 72 GW.

Womp womp. Guess China is acquiescing to the whims of capital by making wind it’s third most plentiful source of energy generation.

What kind of argument is that? The WEF says some random piece of technology is good so it’s automatically evil? Really?

Oh, I see, the more wind turbines a country has the more communist it is.

It’s exactly the same as your argument, I just flipped it to show you how weak it is. I’m glad we agree.

In China, the largest wind turbine producer, Goldwind, is only 40% state-owned. In all countries wind power is a capitalist enterprise, whereas most nuclear power plants are publicly/state-owned and controlled.

Flipping an argument only works if the argument is rational, makes sense or helps illustrate a point. You’re screeching about the World Economic Forum.

Your argument is: “China does it, therefore it is good.” It’s not very compelling.
