Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I hate how, for a decade, every conversation about green energy has been dogged by shitheads saying "but it does nothing because CHINA is emitting so much CO2!!!"

It won't work, but it sure would be nice if news like this shut them up forever.

There's also a relatively gentle mountain range that straddles the most inhabited strip of the country that would be excellent for pumped hydro, and the national electricity grid is one of the largest in the world, with

an end-to-end distance of more than 5,000 kilometres, and 45,000 kilometres of high voltage transmissions line

I’ve seen some people talk about how the US is falling behind in manufacturing competition because “we have too many environmental regulations while china doesn’t need to care at all”

[–] Dolores@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago

feeding the cows the bird doodoo, algae blooms in major waterways, rampant disregard for public health

and the problem is somehow we care too much

China's gonna fall in 2024. Trust me bro.

[–] Hello_Kitty_enjoyer@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago

China already collapsed almost 2 years ago. Every single reference to China since that date, even negative references and criticisms, are pro-China propaganda. China doesn't exist
