To the editor: The photo voltaic, wind and electrical car deployment numbers popping out of China blow my thoughts (“International inexperienced tech investments hit report $2.3 trillion regardless of political headwinds,” Feb. 2). BYD went as far as to construct its personal delivery fleet the place the automobiles roll on and off the ships, simply to get round logistical hiccups. The spillover good thing about all of this progress to neighboring international locations is enviable.
Australia, a pacesetter in mining and fossils, added a lot renewable power that it outpaced demand. I’m certain Australian lawmakers will determine it out, as a result of with a fraction of the inhabitants of America, they will’t afford to cannibalize any of their financial or human assets. They’re compelled to care about their residents; affordability is political survival.
All of the whereas, U.S. residents do not know what power and transportation might doubtlessly seem like right here, what they’ll seem like in Canada and the U.Okay., and what they do seem like in China right this moment. Fashionable renewable power was born right here at Bell Labs, together with a lot different tech that may find yourself electrifying the world earlier than us.
