Best example is the power plants and energy grid in California.
California refuses to build its own power stations and improve its energy grid. So that right there is NIMBY, let some other state run a nuclear, coal or gas plant.
You then loose massive amounts of energy piping that shit across cables.
California is already having constant blackouts and brown outs and they want to expand the burden on the grid. Smooth.

China is Communist in name only and Authoritarian Fascist in practice. Fascism is far left authoritarian and only considered "right" by Socialist Propagandists.
Mussolini, a Socialist, realized he could not accomplish his Socialist goals in a multi-party democracy - and thus coined the term "Fascism" or Latin for "together".
China is a giant NIMBY Bullshit Problem for both California and America as a whole. The majority of California's smog today is from trans pacific shipping and Chinese manufacturing. It blows across the ocean and accumulates in the valley.
It's not dirt-bikes and turbo Hondas.

12 cargo ships = all the cars in the world. That's the price you pay for your Chinese garbage on Amazon, Walmart and the Wish App.
Totally hysterical how people are cool buying shit made by children , slaves and corporations that are actively destroy the ecosystem... So long as its made out of sight.

You're not following.
Getting another 30 miles out of a charge or saving another $2k per car has jack shit to do with environmental impact.
You've still done nothing to fix the electrical grid.
You are still strip mining third world countries for precious heavy metals leaving thier people broke and cancer riddled.
Your still having defacto slaves working in grotesque conditions building your batteries while dumping sewage into drinking water.
Your still transferring billions of dollars directly into the hands of the most evil, murderous government to ever exist in the history of humanity.
Your then still shipping this garbage back to the United States on a shop that basically burns molten tar that has to be first heated by kerosene furnaces to even pour into the engines.
This all so you can say "look at me, I'm saving the world" while fucking wirelessly charging your iPhone XV on your cars console.
This is just like the bullshit "save the ocean, don't use straws!!".
When the fuck is the last time you tossed a plastic straw in the river or even to the side of the road? Then again, I had never seen as much litter as I saw in LA over Labor Day this past month.....
But again, the plastic in the pacific is coming from a certain authoritarian murder machine across the ocean.
