      One pod I saw (reliability unknowable) said their imports from the middle east had gone down, but their wasn’t clear visibility on actual usage. It could have been offset by using some of their huge reserves, or doing deals with Russia and/or Iran that weren’t being disclosed.

      But China aren’t stupid and have been building out renewables to move towards less dependency on external energy supplies.

        Exactly this. They don’t let people that are attached to things like gender-affirming vehicles - in some cases, even altered to burn MORE diesel in order to blow smoke on things like hybrids, EVs or bicyclists - drive our national energy policy, FFS.

        Here, in America, we have a whole political party that represents the people attached to things like gender-affirming vehicles and therefore we have more of a vibes-based approach to energy plans.
