"Around $200 billion was invested in #CleanTechnology manufacturing worldwide in 2023 — a 70 percent increase from 2022. China alone accounted for three-quarters of this investment.
As of last year, Chinese factories churned out more than 80 % of the world’s solar modules and battery cells, as well as nearly 65 % of wind nacelles and 56 % of electrolyzers.
#China is currently the lowest-cost location for producing all of these five key clean technologies."
@CelloMomOnCars There is plenty to criticise China about but being ahead in renewable technology is not one of them, this should be read as an indictment of Western nations who should be doing more.
@CelloMomOnCars its a bit strange to call this products "clean tech" because its produced sticking to it a lot of blood and fossil energy in their making. no?
For now, things like wind turbines are produced with fossil fuels., that's true. Once made, they go on producing 30 times more clean energy than the fossil fuels the energy required to make them. So that's a clear win, already. And eventually the manufacturing will also switch to renewable energy.
As for the blood part, I make no statement about that.
