Once their clean tech manufacturing flywheel is at full speed and they have met the domestic TAM for EVs, solar, and batteries, they will point the clean tech printer at the world. And not a moment too soon, considering planetary boundaries and climate heating limits breached so far.
> In fact, in the first six months of this year, EVs in China displaced more oil than all of the UK used in the same period. A massive rise in electric heavy truck sales was responsible for the largest part of this oil displacement.
The mantra I've heard is "resist and replace." It's not enough to fight a bad habit, you have to (learn to) replace it with something constructive (i.e. fill the void).
I still have a Facebook account, and will occasionally log in (most recently attempting to sell something on their craigslist equivalent). The default content shown in your "feed" or dashboard is more than 50% engagement bait and/or slop. I attempted to start flagging those posts as "never show me again," but it soon became apparent that it was a Sisyphean task, and I just logged out again.
There’s the “friends feed” in the app that has less garbage in it. I mean, these days it is just full of my friends posting pictures of their kids or reposting political things. But I can’t really blame Facebook for the fact that we got old and boring, and it doesn’t have the “suggested content” nonsense.
