    Yeah, reading the whole article paints a pretty obvious story.

    Even ChatGPT recognised this when asked to dot-point the article

    • The International Energy Agency (IEA) has warned that China has a significant presence in the current clean energy market, with a large share of global manufacturing capacity for solar PV modules and batteries (75%).
    • The IEA expressed concern that clean energy supply chains could become unstable if they remain concentrated in China, making the system vulnerable to unforeseen changes.
    • While some policy announcements indicate diversification of supply chains, overall supply chain concentration is expected to remain high.
    • Western governments have been reducing their reliance on China and Russia due to concerns about potential political leverage, with the EU aiming to end its reliance on Russian oil by the end of the decade.
    • Tensions between Taiwan and China add to concerns about China’s disruptive global power.
    • Canada has made significant investments in clean energy, including subsidies for battery production by auto manufacturers.
    • The IEA believes the transition to clean energy is “unstoppable,” with peaks in oil, natural gas, and coal demand expected this decade.
    • By 2030, the IEA anticipates a significant increase in electric cars on the road and emphasizes the need for support for clean energy transitions.
    • Governments, companies, and investors are encouraged to support clean energy transitions for various benefits, including new industrial opportunities, jobs, energy security, cleaner air, universal energy access, and a safer climate.
