Instead of climate panic and hasty bans, Europe should draw inspiration from China's pragmatic approach to energy, according to Jiří Kobza, a long-serving member of parliament and regional councilor.

According to Kobza, Europe, under the banner of the Green Deal, is proceeding as if it were performing "seppuku" – a traditional Japanese form of suicide. China, on the other hand, combines renewable energy sources where they make sense (wind, solar) and builds modern coal-fired power plants where they are not feasible.

"A well-filtered coal-fired power plant produces fewer emissions than a gas-fired power plant," Kobza stated. He also added that the ash from coal-fired power plants is a crucial raw material for the construction industry.

Furthermore, Kobza argues that China views the green transition primarily as a business opportunity – producing solar panels and wind turbines for Europe, which is essentially "burying the continent in its own waste."

Kobza warns against "climate panic." He reminds us that the Earth's climate has always changed, and that humanity must primarily adapt – which requires a stable, affordable, and reliable source of electricity.

"The Chinese example shows the way forward," Kobza concluded.
