now contrast this with what China is doing and it becomes clear that different outcomes are possible

Last time i checked china was mostly reliant on coal ? They shifted the energy production to something else ? Genuine question, if they took impactfull measures i'd be hapy to hear about it

The US is mostly reliant on China, and china's manufacturing is slowly decreasing coal consumption, while rapidly increasing solar, wind and hydro.

China bootstrapped using fossil fuels because that was the only technology available, but they've been transitioning away from using fossil fuels at a mind boggling rate. China still uses fossil fuels, but I think it's fair to call it an electrostate at this point.

Thanks to war on Iran, a lot of countries might not have a choice now.
