Under Trump, the United States is going back to the nineteen-fifties, and clawing its way back up later on will be well nigh impossible. Not that I'm entirely comfortable with it, but the XXIst Century will be China's. The US is toast. I wish it were different.

And a lesson for Canada. So much of our land is open - wind and solar opportunities abound.

But here in AB, Kween Dani just loves oil. The rest of us be damned.

I'm sorry. I'm mean I really don't know what else to say to Albertans anymore. :(

It’s pretty pathetic. Seriously considering moving out of AB. My daughter & grandkids are here. It’s the only reason I stay. But they won’t be here forever & then we pull the pin.

Thanks to the orange clown king we're being left in the dust as countries worldwide are benefiting from solar and wind power! He just tries to bury the facts and shouts "drill baby drill." He thinks we're all as stupid as he is!

I know, let's cancel funding for windfarms.

Chump needs to hire more "clean coal" miners.

And one thing that is always left out of the "China is building coal plants" argument is that China's coal plants operate at 50% of capacity.

China races to the top. Trump races to the bottom.

Policymakers? Did CNN mean the idiot anti-science pro-coal/oil tyrant grifter in the White trash House?

I should definitely be a wake up call...but...the Oil-garchs.

Trump and MAGA Supreme Court taking us back to the 1800’s. We are regressing and China knows it.

Blowing it. Again.

And we are going backwards because Scotland built wind turbines offshore from Trump’s golf course and he doesn’t like the way they look.

This will just signal Republicans to work harder to protect the oil and gas and coal industries that have control over the country's energy services.

Nothing will wake this incompetent mob!!!

What? Chinese propaganda? Aren't they building coal plant after coal plant and even burning radioactive coal.

But the orange man says solar panels will make the birds gay or some other thing that totally makes sense.

Is that what was causing it. I'll have to ask my neighbor to take them down. I wondered why the two, impeccably groomed, crows who've moved into a tree in our yard, keep whistling at me.

I get that folks don’t want hillsides and fields filled with solar panels - but what I don’t get is why skyscrapers, apartments buildings, warehouses, parking garages, homes, etc are not all covered with panels. Oh - because there is no profit for for the Public Utilities companies. What a waste!

This is why the proposed Carney pipeline is already a bust. The proponents claim China will buy all of the dirty Oil Sands product. There will be no market for it...

I doubt it they'll go to the grave for big oil but as the rest of the world goes green that oil will be useless

But? Drill, baby Drill?

"Should be" being the operative phrase. 🙄

Meaning all "policy makers" who aren't owned and operated by the petrochemical oligarchs.

Unfortunately, I’m not sure we have any real “policy makers” at this time. They’re either part of the cult, answering to Aipac, or answering to corporations. No one is actually looking out for OUR interests; just a bunch of childish, greedy BS right now.

Now they will rush out and buy up some solar energy company stock

China will progress even faster beyond the U.S. in all sectors now that the U.S. is punishing & stunting alternative energy source development which will affect every other aspect of technology development. We are in a race to the stone age... with no competitors.

Lmao man I can guarantee you that it will not. bsky.app/profile/jose...

China will have jet packs and we'll be rubbing sticks together to make a fire.

.. and then they'll make scorched earth!

We. Are. Being. Left. Behind.

There goes his, drill baby drill BS!

Meanwhile vonshitzinpants is resurrecting coal.

MALA Make America Last Again It’s working.

We are so behind the curve in just about everything and it’s getting worse.

While we are stuck with this corrupt king of the idiots

America is the past. That’s what this administration is doing. And we know why.

Should..., but won't.

“… but what if it rains?”- MAGA

And their economy will be pleased as it eats our economy like will Smith eats spaghetti.

America under trump is a downhill avalanche.

The materials used to build these systems will not be available to other countries. China will have a strong hold on energy in a way others will dream about in the future. How to power computers for AI will be theirs.

USA is going to be the downfall of the planet

No, but it will be the downfall of itself as no one buys oil, gas, wheat, Soy, etc from it, its already happening, commodities are crashing and will never recover as its industries and agriculture collapse.

Trade will never be the same as it was. Global trust in the USA will never be the same. Knowing that every four years you can have a new madman upend any norms, is just too risky for us, the rest of the world, to partner with the USA.

True, how long before the UN has to find a new home away from the US after this, 160+ nations now effectively being dictated to who can and cannot attend the UN by the US. This isn`t sustainable, it will take a while but the message is clear the US is now a rogue state. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Trump needs to give his head a shake. The world should just stop dealing with the USA altogether. Just rip the bandaid off quick. That is the only way to stop this. It might cause a bit of pain at first, but we'll all be better off. As co-owner of Canada, I give my vote to cut all ties with USA

Sadly Trump is just the figurehead of a much larger well funded group with billions at its disposal, it has taken America and once it has fully subjugated it, it will come for Canad and the rest of the West, here in the UK its making inroads via Farage, Germany the AFD, France under the Le Pens.

The war has just become much bigger than many people realise, the poorly educated, oppressive thugs in society are on the march across the West as extreme Conservatives foot soldiers.

Its got very ugly and better educated people don`t realise placards, marches, court cases and posts on social media isn`t going to make a damned bit of difference against those eager and willing to use violence. They only understand force and until they are met with that they will continue.

Oh I agree. But this group's blood is money. General strike is going in the right direction. But it has to be deeper, bigger than just a week of 'not buying stuff' Our whole way of life has to change. We have to be self-sufficient. Cooperate with each other. Make communities. /1

/2 They know we can do it, it's the reason they are sowing such division. The people have the power. It will be painful. But can be done.

Good luck lets just hope the resistance gets a move on before it gets buried too deep.

Right. I'm afraid the world needs more than luck. I don't see this happening until the people feel the extreme pain of the situation.

States won't go that way no money in it for the oil guys.

We could’ve had Star Trek. We get Mad Max instead. Fun times.

Here in RI people keep complaining about wind power. Fuck fossil fuels and fuck your property values too

But then they'd be "woke" and they're not having any of that! Doze on, Dumbasses.

We are going to order batteries fully charged from China
