on the laughable #LNP rhetoric re #NetZero and #Renewables 😬
" #China’s overseas investments in clean #energy have exceeded $225 billion since 2011, more than the Marshall Plan, adjusted for inflation. In Pakistan, a standalone panel costs farmers $125, and they never have to worry about buying #diesel again. In Nepal, #electricvehicles now make up 76% of new car sales because Chinese Mini #EVs only cost $10,000. These aren’t moral decisions. They’re economic ones."
