Show me an article that states that China wants us to pay them to reduce their carbon intensity. China is doing what is profitable for China and it just so happens that reducing carbon intensity through increasing their share of renewable energy is a win win for them both climate-wise and economically. I think you have a lot to learn before you understand the stakes here. It's not just about climate. Historically, the country that controls the world's energy supplies is the country that is assured a large share of the world's GDP and all that comes with it. We're engaged in a competition to secure the future energy sources. Right now, the US barely even recognizes that a competition exists, and so, we're falling farther behind. Meanwhile, China is going full bore to diversify their energy supplies. There is no question in my mind that within our lifetimes, China will be the top economic superpower and they will have the military that comes with it. We're in decline, in no small part, due to the myopic thinking of our leaders who don't understand that an economy based on oil is a sure path to long term decline.
