#climateDiary “50 years after Carter’s speech, China has executed on what he asked of the West — without ever making environmentalism the justification. While Washington and Brussels argued about green and brown, Beijing simply built both. Whatever the climate benefits, China did not build 1.2 TW of solar capacity primarily for them. It built that capacity because it understood the MEOW lesson better than Carter’s own successors — security first, with decarbonization as a welcome dividend.”
