    Flipping an argument only works if the argument is rational, makes sense or helps illustrate a point. You’re screeching about the World Economic Forum.

      Did you miss the part where the wind enterprises in China are mostly privately owned? In fact, every wind enterprise around the world is privately owned, while nuclear power plants by their very nature have to be publicly owned or at least under state-control. That’s why most, if not all, nuclear power plants operate as a loss; which is also why you don’t see companies advocating for them as much as they are for wind and solar.

        Does something that’s privately owned automatically make it a bad thing? It’s way better for the environment than any fossil fuel-based method of energy generation, China is a big advocate of it, it fits into their long-term economic plans and vision, the technology/knowledge/blueprints can easily be exported, and the CPC as a leash on anything and everything private. And not only does the CPC nominally have control over even private enterprises through various methods, it’s willing to crack down if and when necessary.

        You are practically fearmongering.

        You’re also ignoring that despite having “only” a 40 percent stake in Goldwind, that is still likely a controlling/majority individual stake.

          I think so.

          But I could have been wrong re: Goldwind and it seems it is majority owned by companies linked to the CPC.

          Let me revise my argument: wind turbines in deserts where there isn’t much life aren’t a big deal and are a good renewable resource (still inferior to nuclear, though); but wind turbines installed on sea are objectively bad and they negatively impact marine life and the marine environment.

            Do you have any articles about wind turbines disturbing marine life? It makes sense on paper and I’m skeptical, but I’m very willing to read any articles you have. I have the others you linked me open in other tabs.
