There are two intepretations of the color of the kettle, shiny which is removed from the original expression and black(ened).
The expression is usually best thought of as a kettle calling the pot black because it is burnt on the bottom from being on the fire and the pot points out that the kettle is also blackened - it just cannot see that about itself.
I have always seen the expression less as a statement on hypocrisy/whataboutism and more needing understand your own sense of self before that of others.
The person sending the meme is the one that is saying pot-kettle-black.
You know the necron is a woman because she has boobies.
Organic maps is so good
France has been trying since the 50s. It would be ironic if the UK would be post brexit but they cant find the money. The Finns could give it a go.
Im a noob. How do we find these communities? Are there lists, are there ways I can query?
You are not wrong. China also uses much more energy than the EU overall, and has a much larger population as it industrializes. China has more than x3 the population but is building 4.5 times solar and wind. Reducing the amount of consumer goods the EU imports from China which they need energy to make can have a big impact on China pollution.
Where are we putting all this CO2?
The EU as a whole stopped with coal quite a while ago (except poland, where it accounts for 40% of energy) and mostly relies on oil and gas. Around 69% all energy in the EU was produced from coal (14%), oil (32%) and gas (25%), with a 4.5% reduction in total energy due to the decrease of oil/gas from Russia. (https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php?title=Energy_statistics_-_an_overview; https://www.iea.org/regions/europe filtered by EU27 member countries)
61% of China's energy was coal, 18% was oil, and 8% was gas in the same time period or 77% in total. (https://www.iea.org/countries/china/energy-mix)
In 2024, China added 356 GW of wind and solar capacity – 4.5 times the EUʼs.
China has ways to go in bringing down its coal, but it is far outpacing the EU when adding new solar and wind capacity.
"China also put up 357 gigawatts of solar and wind, a 45% and 18% increase, respectively, over what was operating at the end of 2023, according to China’s National Energy Administration. That’s akin to building 357 full-size nuclear plants in one year.
The installations meant China surpassed a goal, six years early, of having 1,200 gigawatts from renewables by 2030, a benchmark Chinese President Xi Jinping set five years ago."
Helpful context that their solar and wind dwarfs coal.
