But but the windmills!!! China hates windmills--they spoil the views
America should have been the leader in green tech. But no, we've got Republicans.
Meanwhile dump destroys our capability.
i’m so glad trump and his goon squad continue their love affair with fossil fuels. And are even prepared to sacrifice National Parks (only important for tourists which don’t want to come anymore anyways) Way to go you fucking numpties. It’s the race to last place in everything.
Except for here in the USA under tRump. ("drill baby, drill") tRump is setting us back years! If China REALLY implements this across the board, it will KILL Russian Oil exports!
Meanwhile, America trips back towards the stone age…
Wish I could bring this article back to 2000 to show the yahoos who argued China was never going green so it didn't matter if we did or not.
And it will be America LAST to get the memo that green is good. Not GREED!!!!
5 years from now, when we all have to buy our green energy from China, remember sleepy tried to keep us near the front of the pack. Dumb Donald will have driving Flintstone cars. Yaba Daba Doo! It might not take five years.
Energy independence is a complex global challenge requiring nuanced policy approaches rather than simplistic narratives.
A measured energy transition with diversified sources seems the wisest approach—neither technological isolation nor complete dependency serves progress well.
