On the flip side...
Ever wonder why there's no more California "Rolling Blackouts"?
Millions of solar panels have been installed for co-generation. I'd bet there are ten thousand just in the town of Sebastopol, alone. 200 watts times 2-3 million panels adds up to well distributed (more efficient) power. No CO2 HC or NOX.
Let the Chinese poison themselves. Not my problem. But the more panels they turn out the less crude oil gets used. Lower priced fuel. Standard of living goes up MOTORHOMES GET SOLD and RV WEBSITES stay profitable.
So let the Chinese make trillions of panels. Close petro burning power plants.
Like lead (Pb) I would love to see petroleum become a minor issue in the world. There's talk of gasoline engine direct port fuel injection with twin turbochargers. How would you like to have a 50% size engine, weighing half as much? Gasoline would become 100% sulfur free.
And competition would definitely lead to a horse race for more efficient solar panels.
The Chinese economy is barely comprehensible. I got my business MBA submitting my thesis on Latin American Economies which by nature must interface with world powers. Many should thank their lucky stars the USA did not adopt the European model which included eight dollar a gallon gasoline. This website would not exist, nor the parent company.
