Been reading through my usual posts and this thought popped up in my head. Did a bit of searching and now I'm curious what y'all's analysis is on this. And how potentially the CCP will respond to climate related consequences in the coming decades since they are becoming an increasingly massive superpower and their actions will have global impacts for the rest of the world.

it's a lot harder for the US military to control the sun than the world's oil supply.

but there's still all the different materials required to make solar panels and batteries.

Almost all of which come from China or Russia. The US is nearly completely reliant on both for its own green energy demand.

China is the world's 3rd largest producer of lithium. I'm pretty sure the entire supply chain can be found within China.
