The new US President has used his first 24 hours to pull all US government support for the green energy transition. He wants to ban any new wind energy projects and withdraw support for electric cars. His new energy policy refused to even mention solar panels, wind turbines, or battery storage - the world’s fastest-growing energy sources. Meanwhile, he wants to pour money into dying and declining industries - like gasoline-powered cars and expanding oil drilling.
China was the global leader in 21st-century energy before, but its future global dominance is now assured. There will be trillions of dollars to be made supplying the planet with green energy infrastructure in the coming decades. Decarbonizing the planet, and electrifying the global south with renewables will be the largest industrial project in human history.
It’s sad that most people in the US are in a cult and don’t even know it. Just “my side is better” all day long without any self reflection of the past. Both party were funded by billionaires and foreign lobbying group forever.
But whenever it isn’t going their way, one side goes on a boring trite. Rinse and repeat.
