@contrasocial@mastodon.social China is doing some really amazing things with solar tech. Last week I posted an article about how engineers achieved saltwater desalination using only solar energy which is used to irrigate crops in nearby fields. It is durable, long-lived and scalable. We in the United States are far behind China when it comes to solar tech and other renewables. The fossil fuel lobby is to blame for that.

@jblue@mastodon.world Far behind in funding it's production, yeah, the research typically all happens in the west still. Like I said, just wait and see, China will "develop" this in a few months time, magically.
