It's not about just Iran

47. Ok. I think of things more in line to the scale of the issue.

China has massive renewable investment because they have a massive pollution issue combined with high power consumption. They are a net importer.

Green energy is not a sole source as you say. You can add it to a power grid like a normal source. An example is Texas today using about 35% green energy on the ERCOT grid.
In order to have green energy used to require 3x the grid investment because of the swings in availability. The change came with Tesla. Tesla battery technology changed green energy grid planning. Industrial batteries allow plants to run solar and keep power overnight. There are now many competing technologies that China uses.
I have been in large chemical plants with acres of solar panels in the US and Mexico. They may not use batteries but run the majority of energy off of solar during the day. Example Celanese Clear lake plant. China can do the same.

China uses coal primarily. It’s dirty. There solution used to be just telling every other plant to shut down when the air gets too dirty.
