I recall watching an interview with an Indian minister a while ago on ABC, he said "you ("the west") are holding us back when you reaped all the benefits of fossil fuel in the past". How do you respond to that?

China is interesting. Largest emitter but also one of the leaders in the renewable technology game.
Such a paradox, all the growth in electric vehicles adding load to the grid and yet
more renewable energy is closing that gap. Somewhere in there, a lot of BEVs are
being run and charged on renewable energy in spite of all the dirty power produced.

Somewhere in the future, I see China replacing its base load coal fired power stations
with a standardised nuclear power station design and like the French, declaring itself
clean and green.
