This is just from today.
This is from 2 days ago.
Whatever their sins, China doesn’t suddenly mandate replacement of 25 percent of electrical grid transformers when they are working perfectly fine. And the energy savings will be minuscule.
Only in the West do we do this to ourselves.
They do crazier stuff.
Name some that relate to business regulation.
That just appear out of the blue - like the transformer mandate in January. Or that Colorado mineral extraction cancellation.
Or banning LNG exports. After telling the EU that the USA will backstop their gas supplies.
Hold on to those old “inefficient” transformers. Don’t scrap them.
In case of an EMP attack, finding replacement transformers might be tricky, since China makes almost all of them.
