You are including the coal used to build solar cells right?

No, of course you aren't. Germany is just shipping their coal emissions to China, so that on paper they look good, but are actually making things worse.

Greenwashing at its finest: Country wide and government supported.

You know that renewable energy is more than solar?

We were not shipping emissions to China. Germany has build a lot of solar cell plants. Many got financial problems when China entered the market.

Personally I like our greenwashing more than your greenwashing.
