Yeah, China is e/acc. Nice cheap solar panels too. Thanks China. The problem is their ominous policies like not allowing almost any immigration, and their domestic Han Supremacist propaganda, and all that make it look a bit like this might be Han Supremacy e/acc. Is it better than wester/decel? Hard to say, but at least the western/decel people are now starting to talk about building power plants, at least for datacenters, and things like that instead of demanding whole branches of computer science be classified, as they were threatening to Marc Andreessen when he visited the Biden admin last year.

I wish we had voter support for a hydrocarbon tax, though. It would level out the prices and then the AI companies can decide whether they want to pay double to burn pollutants or invest in solar and wind and batteries
