The race for clean energy is gathering speed but who will win? | Counting the Cost
The race for clean energy is moving fast. And it could drive geopolitical rivalries and reshape the balance of power. As nations face up to the impacts of climate change, global spending on the transition to clean energy hit record highs last year.
Around $1.8 trillion was spent on installing renewable energy systems, buying electric cars and…

The west is only good at talks, talks, and more talks. Look at the piles of papers of criticism and accusations of other countries from the western think tanks!
With the Maga idiots here, I think that they think that the 19th century is great
Population needs to be in balance with jobs, resources, nature and the environment. Having a bigger population in any country than the country can support makes no sense. Access to food, water, shelter, energy and jobs should guide population levels. The worlds population is still expected to add another billion people to feed, clothe and produce pollution. Humans are crowding out all other species of plants and animals. Education and birth control are key to reducing poverty and hunger. Having a child that you can not provide for yourself is cruel and irresponsible. We need solutions not just sympathy. Endless population growth is not sustainable on a finite planet. Every country needs to "TRY" to be more self sufficient. When there are not enough resources to sustain a population something has to give. Countries need to focus on quality of life for their citizens and not just quantity of life for cheap labor. Why import fossil fuels when wind and solar energy can be produced locally and solar energy can power electric vehicles. We need solutions not just sympathy.
Wind and solar energy combined with battery storage are safer, cleaner and cheaper than fossil fuels.
Fossil fuels are destroying the planet. Humans are the only species that are destroying the very air, land and water resources we need to survive. No other species destroys its habitat. Think about that.
New homes need to adjust to the times. Home solar energy and battery storage are now more common.
Electric vehicles are becoming more popular every year. Every garage should include a 220 volt outlet and electric vehicle charger.
Every new home and business should install a rain water collection and storage system along with solar panels.
Even in areas where rain is infrequent it is crazy to waste the little rain that does fall and waste it.
We need to stop planting green lawns and switch to local native plantings around homes.
It is crazy to plant lawns and build golf courses in dry desert areas. We waste too much water and electricity.
the future is electric. Wind and solar energy along with electric vehicles are the future. Stop using fossil fuels. There is a climate crisis.
Climate Change is making weather events more extreme. This will impact the worlds food supply.
Floods, droughts, fires, excessive heat, snow storms and low water levels in reservoirs and in ground water storage are becoming more common. We must stop adding more fossil fuels to the climate fire.
Stop building and financing more coal fossil fuels power plants.
Time to go all in on wind and solar energy, battery storage and electric vehicles.
Fossil fuels are a bad investment for people and the planet.
The cost of dealing with the impact of climate change will be greater than the cost of reducing the impact.
THE BEST ADVANTAGE OF THE CLEAN ENERGY is no more imports of oil and methane gas from Arab countries, Russia, Iran, USA, …
ALL COUNTRIES WILL PRODUCE THEIR ENERGY SO MORE MONEY in the pocket of countries and citizens.
❤❤❤
It's fantastic that this race is doing good for the humankind !!!
The race of nuclear weapons on the other hand…
Anyway, China is ahead, EU and USA are following, but India change idea and is full clean energy now.
If you have any countries were actually racing though! Instead of spending money on making the climate worse, weapons and destruction.
I just love the irony of this Qatar based oil tv shows how important alternative energy sources are becoming.
China already won by a country mile, which kind of is a good thing for the world really, since the way they produce things it just drops the overall cost of all green products signifiantly for consumers (ex. EVs, batteries, solar panels). Unless you live in the USA I guess lol, since they just raised tarriffs on all those products EVs 100%, 50% solar panels, 50% on semiconductors. The hipocracy is amusing, on one hand all these 1st world countries say we need to get to net positive on carbon emissions on the other hand you make the products why more expensive to buy, as a Canadian really Canada doesn't do this. Clean energy companies aren't just going to pop up in the US like you think they are because of this.
Jigawatts? What is this back to the future?
Imagine having the billions spent on death and destruction at hand to use for renewable energy investments?
We are killing ourselves while enabling wars and genocide which is not only immoral and wrong it’s insanity!
Save the earth. 🌍 climate change is getting worst.
Too Hot 🥵 means less food 🍲
Why not invite China experts on it?
"Jigawatt" from a "thought leader"… That's thick!😂
China made Solar and batteries cheap for everyone, the west and the rest of the world should be thankful. The visionless western governments only does short term thinking about their election, they have no ambition or vision to think long term for the humanity.
love China ❤ 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
We can also achieve. …but how ????..??…?? 12:38
While Western countries danbbled in clean energy and talked the talk, China buckled-down and walked the walk, developing and buiilding-out infrastructure. No they have "over-capacity" that requires trade protectionism? Let's facd to, China will develop markets in he global south while Western countries slow-walk it raking in tax dollars for it's over-priced equipment.
Whoever wins this race is a win for humanity. We all win from this competition.
I thought the race is already over.
