I dunno man, Trump said that clean coal can create steam power which is pretty neat new tech too.
Clean* Coal. It’s TOTALLY different from your grandfather’s coal. It says it right there in the name so yeah. It’s now “clean” and will be the lasting tech for the next 175 weeks.
Submission statement:
China is leading the global clean energy race, investing heavily in solar, wind, and electric vehicles. The U.S., under the Trump administration, is prioritizing fossil fuels, aiming for energy dominance through oil and gas exports. This divergence in energy strategies, driven by national security and economic concerns, has significant implications for the future of energy and the fight against climate change.
China will be able to just sell solar and wind tech and equipment worldwide for a lower cost.
It is like electronics, except more critical. In the coming decades most green energy sources in the world including the US will use at least partial Chinese equipment.
Biden’s plan was pretty good. Weened us off chinese imports and supported domestic. Gop plan is to get rich while we die poor with cancer.
Race to power, sure… But I know 2 China experts that have lived there for over 14 years aiding western corporations and preventing them from being scammed in China. And they tell me anything China does is 90% a scam. To the point where ENTIRE CITIES are a scam.
I don’t care who does it as long as it happens. We need this stuff yesterday if we want any hope for the future of advanced civilization.
