How “green” (ecological) are existing socialist countries?

    The thing you have to consider is that all of the currently existing socialist countries are third world nations which just now, after 50 years or more, are beginning to stabilize from their transitions from feudalism and or imperialist colonies. While most of the countries employ to some degree renewable energy here or there, none has a 0% carbon footprint (as any other country on Earth), and none will reach that point at least in the following 10 years keeping in mind that colonizers have never given them any kind of aid in order to achieve a transition to an infrastructure that depends completely on renewable energy.

    I’d say the best contender is China, which while it does produce some amount of Co2 (it is still not that much when compared to the Imperial Core), they are investing greatly in a myriad of new ways to achieve zero gas emissions.

    Anyway, it all also depends on what you consider as “Green”, since it is quite an ambiguous term.
