China is not only the global leader in developing renewable energy, but they maintain a huge competitive advantage in clean tech manufacturing and supply. From solar panels to wind turbines to raw minerals and EVs, China supplies the globe with what's needed to convert to clean energy.
But with that dominance comes challenges, geopolitical risks not the least among them. Paul digs a bit deeper into how China became the behemoth in clean tech supply and discusses how Western policy makers are trying to build up their own domestic supply chains.
