pretty fuckin' rich to be writing from a country that is actively rolling back its environmental protections and never had subsidies for shit
and lets people freeze. What the fuck is a subsidy for heat, we don't get those in the west
We have the whole Texas energy grid boondoggle here, if we want an example of our system under stress
At one point Venezula was providing low cost heating fuel to low income Americans through Citgo, but the US government put an end to that evil commie plan and provided those people with the freedom to freeze to death
The timing could not possibly be worse
This is so moronic. The way they call it “blue skies” as if it was done for aesthetic / PR reasons. Five seconds ago they were moaning about the smog and how china’s killing the planet
Substituting 'clean air' for 'blue skies' was definitely a choice.
The american mind cant comprehend a building that doesn't let cold air through shitty walls and half-assed 'insulation' and windows with drafts that thr landlord refuses to fIX FUCK YOU KELLY FIX MY FUCKING WINDLWS FIX THRM NOW.YOU FUCK IVE HAD PLASTIC OVER THRM FLR 2 YEARS NOW FUCK
In America, every household is visited by a man named Kyle, who drinks energy drink and punches a hole through the wall which lets the heat out. It is illegal to try and stop him.
In America, every car is visited by a thumb named Blart, who commits domestic violence and smashes your window to confirm you're a citizen which lets the heat out. It is illegal to try and stop him.
I literally spend 5 days a week in a village in Spain without heating and my room is 9°C in winter because the alternative is killing the planet and spending 200€/month in diesel heating, not even fossil gas infrastructure where I live. At least these people have the choice
Those people on the picture surely look on the verge on hypothermia
A great policy I wish they'd adopt here in Korea.
Poor South Koreans also use charcoal briquettes to heat their homes. Seoul air looks like Beijing in the winter. It's gross, a brownish-yellowish-grayish haze
I was just in Shanghai a week ago, and the air quality was similarly gross, so I guess this was only for Beijing?
When I was living there, you could taste the air pollution. The 70th anniversary parade was on a day with AQI around 300. You could notice it on the TV broadcast
They're really trying to go all in on this "China is freezing people to death!" propaganda wave.
Wow if only there were a technology for heating that could turn any biomass or carbons into radiant heat with modest emissions and zero pollution, that was buildable and supplyable in rural areas.
