Perhaps we should spent more money trying to mitigate the outcomes rather than have those few regions that do limit their co2 output become entirely dependent for industrial goods(steel, concrete etc) on those that don't? It seems so obvious that it begs the question if all the officials that made for example EU's industry so dependent on Russian hydrocarbons in the past, and East Asian steel/other goods going forward do this because of stupidity or are they serving self interests? I propose the latter.
As an example, take one decision to shut down all of Germany's nuclear power plants in absence of carbon neutral alternatives. In short term it benefited Russian regime and allowed it to conduct its barbaric war on Ukraine in full knowledge the most powerful country of EU is in their pocket. In long term destroying EU's industry serves Chinese interests.
You mean those things that most people now consider cheaper than both nuclear and fossil fuels despite the billions of dollars spent creating conspiracy theories to undermine them? By people with a vested interest in gas prices being high? Their absence seems more political than technical, an argument that is often used for nuclear.
Fossil fuel producers on the other hand really don't like those things.
China for example rolled out nuclear but also more wind, more solar, more EVs, more Hydro and so on. Seems like a sensible thing to do if you dont want to be beholden to fossil fuel suppliers.
While their coal usage is still growing, their use of renewables is also growing rapidly. They will probably overtake the US and EU eventually. They are heavily investing in wind. Most of the solar panel manufacturers are Chinese as well.
