The world’s two superpowers are in a tightening contest to dominate the energy future. Under the Trump administration, the U.S. is intent on producing oil, gas and coal and selling it abroad. Its chief economic rival, China, has become the world’s dominant supplier of clean energy in the form of solar panels, batteries and electric vehicles.

Hard to disagree with that.

Yes, its called the Sun ffs.

Harnessing it is not particularly “green” and certinaly not with our profligate misuse of energy.
