China has utilized aggressive sales tactics to encourage the West to purchase large quantities of solar and wind generators to generate low-quality electricity to keep their factories busy. Trillions of dollars have been spent.
The April 28, 2025 Iberian Peninsula blackout is demonstrating the folly of such an approach. At least nine Spaniards died. The economic damage is likely denominated in the billions of dollars.
