    Probably not, but it’s good that they’re taking the move away from fossil fuels seriously.

      Their plan was always to use energy to become the next superpower. England built an empire using coal. USA had built their currently hegemony on oil. China thinks their shot to greatness is clean tech, so they produce batteries, solar panels, wind turbines and try to make a new generation of nuclear plants.

      If you take a look at their battery industry, you’ll see they’re taking it very seriously
