Comment on China's green energy boom could spell the end of the fossil fuel age
takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 months agoThis moron doesn’t understand that green energy was a new sector where US could dominate for decades.
A lot of countries are forced to import fossil fuels as they can’t produce their own so replacing that with local alternatives actually increases national security.
Do people think China went into renewable energy because suddenly Xi became a tree hugger?
From what I’ve gleaned of the ravings of the angry stupid right blogosphere, a lot of people actually do think that only tree huggers want green energy.
And I have little doubt that that’s an opinion that Trump shares, but that’s not his main motivation in all of this. His main motivation is big fat bribes from the fossil fuel industry.
He’s not in a position to know (much, including) how many investors have put their money on green. A few months to put up a low/no-waste solar windmill farm (he hates how they look) and start profiting … 10 years (at least) to build a high-waste nuke.
Doesn’t understand, also doesn’t care. Coal and oil paid for his loyalty.

It’s the moment Sears let Amazon take the lead on mail order shopping just because Sears didn’t understand how the internet and shopping could work together.
