Even worse than that is a lot of them are something like 10% actual solar panels (around the outside edges of the farm) and the rest are fake. That way you can get a guy with a drone to take a lot of photos and brag on China Daily that the mainland is leading the way in solar generation. Also, a lot of their actual panels are a generation or two behind because western companies are making them back home using automation and are also tired of China stealing their designs and trying to put them out of business.

I've told people this and they say that's just racism and ask for sources because everyone knows china is like 20 years ahead of the world on solar and green technology and straddling buses. "A thread on something awful about making fun of china told me"

Everyone knows that China is 20 years ahead on solar and green technology.

Other things everyone knows about China:
- Would never export food during time of famine.
- Has great air quality.
- Does not produce poison baby formula.
- Instances of sexual harassment very rare, unlike the decadent West.
- Hot water good for healthy.

Literally right now in D&D goons are explaining to me that China makes lots of solar panels so they must be good and this is the perfect gif to see alongside that discussion

i love the posters in that thread not understanding a) how dumping works nor b) how having the majority of the world's solar panels be produced in a country with lax enforcement of pollution controls isn't the best idea if you care about the environment.

and then the last page is some guy saying he has never had a girlfriend and his only consolation is video games. :yikes:

Solar cells fundamentally aren't 'green' if you're talking about deploying them anywhere that's not a scorching, lifeless desert where nothing exists or some cat's rooftop. This has nothing to do with the amount of sunlight available but everything to do with what you displace when you bulldoze a ton of trees to install solar cells.

For the same GWh to net CO2 impact, you're actually better off just using a gas or oil plant and planting a forest in the area you didn't use for a solar farm - and that's honestly unlikely to change. What will change is that solar cells will get cheap enough that you can opportunistically deploy them to rooftops and big dead places like deserts, which will be helpful but not solve everything.

This is what galls me the most about the whole "China leads the way in solar" bullshit. It's wrong on almost every level. Even if all of those cells were real and even if they were all powering homes, it would STILL be more net polluting than just building a loving modern natural gas plant and letting a big area return to wild forest.

But this is China, so appearing to be good for planet healthy is way more important than actually being good for planet healthy.

most of the solar production in china is actually from scorching lifeless desert, they just haven't hooked up those areas to any provinces actually requiring power yet

Natives have actually lived in the Americas for a while longer than that--there's human settlements in Chile dated to about 16,000 years and the current thinking is people started crossing between 20 and 30,000 years ago. :eng101:

When I've taught American history the first third of the class is all before a single white person even shows up. The students who pay attention are amazed at the pyramids in Peru many thousands of years older than anything in China. Also, to their credit, they never claim China is the oldest civilization. Usually they think it's Egypt.


The american pyramids are millions of years old and were built by aliens.

I don't recall ever seeing an actual article about it, but I remember when I posted a c/p from reddit where someone gave all the information that we now repeat about Chinese solar panels, and I suspect that might be the origin.

I also could not find anything in Google, but Ali Baba was waiting for a sale:

Someone who frequently buys condoms would be considered probably not a parent, who on balance is more likely to have a sense of responsibility as evidenced by how they avoided becoming a parent.

• President Xi Jinping was elevated to the same exalted status as China’s founding father, Mao Zedong, and his ideas were enshrined in the constitution of the Communist Party as its twice-a-decade congress came to a close.

“Xi Jinping Thought” is based, in part, on restoring China to greatness, a goal that has guided Mr. Xi’s policies. His new status sends a clear signal that any challenge to him now amounts to ideological heresy.
