Great episode! I really like the historical segments meshed with the current events!

Metals are not the same as opium - opium is burned while producing 0 benefits, and creates sideffects, meanwhile lithium etc. are not burned, and stay in Europe and can be recicled forever while creating massive economic and health benefits. Gass and oil are much more like the opium ;)

[SuperFrosty]

I completely agree with this video. The problem is known in Europe, but Europeans do not act because of internal disputes.

Hey GTBT, I originally subscribed to your channel thanks to an old partnership with Caspian Report. Sadly that channel has been shifting toward less plausible visions of the future but you have stayed true. I respect your work and am happy to have subscribed those years ago :)

I wouldn't compare acquiring cheap solar panels, subsidised with Chinese tax money, to replace the import of gas with buying opium 😅

[grafity]

I think its time for an European Inflation Reduction Act!

[Mark-psiy]

But the comparison is a bit off. Opium crippled the Chinese economy, while cheap solar panels and EVs would certainly support the European industry.

These videos are so good. I consider myself a well-read person (within reason), snobbishly consuming the worlds' best media in multiple languages multiple hours every day. However, your analyses are so sharp, original, well constructed... i would struggle to find a more eye-opening source than this channel at the moment. Also, "The 20s Report" is a great name! Keep them coming. And BR to Polska from a Czech living in Switzerland!

I'm not sure where you were going with your opium/EV sales comparison, or what drugs even have to do with car sales. What happened back then was tragic, but cars aren't drugs, and simply don't negatively effect you like drugs do IMO. I can see the monetary wealth drain & that has to stop ASAP.

Fascinating analysis, very well described. The only thing that I see: Green energy is not opium, it is not self-destructive. I think if China can transform itself with their technology they will be able to outclass every other country due to extremely low energy costs, which will give them an edge in production that europe cannot cope with.
I'm a scientist, a chemist, and with many collogues could not find a proper job to put my education to use, while China did focus on research and development. I think Europe, especially Germany where I lived for long time wasted at least 20 years here, and will have to pay the price for it, although it is good to see them trying to catch up. Once the green energy network is set up, maintaining it is simpler, and should be doable domestically without being addicted to China, as green energy generation does not put much strain on the facilities due the mild temperatures and conditions compared to combustion or nuclear power. So the only problem I see is corrosion, and here using long-term materials especially for windmills will lead towards a stronger independence.
Because the result of a green transformation will be more or less energy independence if the country manages to generate the industry to maintain the green energy production facilities on its own which I do not consider so difficult. Big Plus: you do need need ANY fuel, you use what is there anyway.

[richbattaglia]

It’s about resource independence not green energy.
Let’s get the picture right. Europe wants to be strong like America. But it can’t when it imports all of its energy demands. It cannot support its population without immigration. It cannot sustain a war against Russia without the United States.
That is why the green energy plan exists.

Really good pacing and flow on this script. Good job!

[CindySorenson-rm]

Somebody had to make design & make them, and the US wasn't stepping up, so TY Chinese solar manufactures for helping to save the planet by taking Global Warming seriously, making it number one on your to-do-list, and putting your entire government behind forging new innovative solutions! Props where props are due.

[patrickdegenaar]

We need a massive effort to shift to a low carbon economy. The problem is not that China has been leading efforts, but rather that the EU has not upped its game.

[tonycheung]

For regions like Hong Kong that do not produce EVs, we are delighted to import what are known as overcapacity EVs.
As for those regions producing EVs, you have two options: either increase your productivity or raise tariffs to protect your auto industry in the short term. However, in the long run, good luck to you.

[ngsamuel]

I really liked the combination of history with current events

[grnbanana]

Finally a channel that has quality economics information AND amazing maps and interesting graphics. Loving it all. Also Poland is such a great country, greetings from Bulgaria♥️

Wind turbines with 30% higher output and 70% cheaper. Surely that's a miracle breakthrough in a climate crisis, no matter where the origin
