Meanwhile china is going all in on coal, and specifically coal to oil conversion.

They are in the short-term, yes.

That'll happen when the US president literally blows up the global energy supply. Countries rely on what's at hand out of necessity. Just ask Venezuela.

They were doing this way before Iran. Does Iran push the idea harder, yes, but they were already ramping up. The reality is every energy source that can be exploited will be, in both countries.

A 6 month - 1 year plan doesn't mean much when there's multiple 5-10 year plans set fully in on nuclear and renewables.
