Fun fact. In the Lord of the Rings films, most of the Riders of Rohan were actually women with fake beards because when the production put out a call for local experienced riders, a lot of women showed up with their own horses.

Europeans used to be big fans of green energy, but now that the Chinese are leading the way they seem to be changing their minds. “China dominates green tech, producing about 90 per cent of the world’s solar modules, more than 80 per cent of wind turbines and 80 per cent of battery cells, as well as controlling wider supply chains for rare earth and semiconductor materials.” Europe apparently needs to be mindful that “we don’t replace one set of dependencies on fossil fuel imports with a dependency on Chinese low-carbon technology.” One of the reasons for caution is that “China was likely to restrict supply of low-carbon technology and components”. It’s worth noting that China would only ever do such a thing in a context where Europe was engaged in aggression against it. So the question for Europeans is: what’s more important, preventing climate catastrophe, or reserving the right to participate in hot and cold war on China? A very revealing sentence: “An under-appreciated risk was that the US could demand Europe remove Chinese technology from its energy systems — or face tariffs, sanctions or reduced security commitments.” This is a stark admission that Europe is likely to be forced into subjugating its own interests to those of the Project for a New American Century. All pretty pathetic.
