I hate this fucking planet, "counter" green energy ? For fucking real ? They all need to die in capitalist hell.

That's not what is critizised here, is it?

I might misunderstand but I thought the cheap production of necessary components for green energy coming from China, only possible by shortcuts of reducing worker rights or otherwise exploitation of ressources, should be countered.

Workers rights in China are one of the only places in the world that actually are gaining more rights and protections, year over year. This isn’t the 80s anymore.

No worries, it’s only one example also. They have better maternity laws than my country, better sick time laws, better overtime pay, better holiday pay, more holidays. It’s not perfect, nowhere is, but it’s not the land of sweat shops most would have you believe it is.
