Few companies like Pila Energy are doing innovation in the U.S. but not at all hardware OEMs from the U.S. all white labeled!
Hey, I used to be a proud American. I’m tired of how backwards we’ve become. I have problems with some Chinese policies but they are no worse than where this country is headed because of neo fascist evangelicals that didn’t go to college and vote accordingly even against their best interests.
Clinging to the past. American national strategy, thanks to maga morons.
Canada is now going to trial import BYD cars…
I bet they sell out immediately, and Canada will open up the market completely. They are far superior to any US electric vehicle, and a quarter the price of NaziMobiles.
This is what we voted for. Decades from now, people would dig into what went wrong, and come away with the realization that we just weren’t very bright, and a little too racist.
Wait until China takes Taiwan and America is cut off from their tech.
It’s so frustrating and disappointing to watch the mistakes being made by the US in pretty much every single area. The damage being done will have repercussions for decades.
The republicans are unevolved people, not to mention evil. They are shitty on basically the vast majority of all their policy ideas and implementations. They are truly the worst people.
The US electorate is very ignorant on average. The fact that Trump could win twice is an error beyond comprehension. He is ruining our energy future, setting it back at least ten years.
The solar revolution is great for China in general because they are the manufacturer of the world. We need to innovate and most importantly build our own products. Manufacturing help build intrinsic engineering skillsets, its not just about cheap** labor or outsourcing EPA or OSHA.
The US is basically in free fall when it comes to competing with China and the elites are grabbing as much as they can as fast as they can before the music stops.
That’s the plan from Putin, using his bitch, Trump. Republicans are aiding and abetting Trump’s destruction of America.
Huge world market for renewables and the US will have none of it, plus declining oil sales.
Its the companies that are here. If they wanted innovation they could open up their own research centers and develop these technologies. The government shouldn’t have to put money into these products development especially when these companies aren’t paying us enough to live. I’m all for renewable energy and technical advantages that comes with it but I’m not for the government funding it when it seems that so many companies are looking for the cheapest labor and materials to get the most profit.
Tesla has refined lithium, batteries, solar panels, or large-scale battery storage to sell you.
Thanks, Captain Obvious.
The US is a total loser in energy due to Trump.
China is surging ahead…. I thought that it was Europe who pulled ahead with the Solid batteries in production?
It’s not “the US”, it’s republicans holding us back.
China has drilled baby drilled a helluva of coal and gas in 2025 more than the entire world combined but people want to think the US is behind on anything.
china does both. they don’t tie their hands behind their backs trying to avoid fossil fuels and decommissioning power plants.
Trump loves oil.
We need to collectively cut our use of oil products.
Just wait until the US starts dealing with poisoned aquifers from the fracking. All those extra funds sure were needed and useful tho right.
Drill baby drill!
Trump doesn’t care about US, he only cares about himself…. It’s quite obvious. He will be ready to sell the US if price is right.
It’s on purpose.
Surprised there wasn’t a guy with a bullhorn shit-talking the Chinese progress & extolling the fossil fuel virtues as “chrischun & morally right”
The us could have been leading this tech in the 70s
Look on the bright side. We get a more reliable grid than countries that depend on renewables
That’s assuming world peace and continued globalization with free trade that have contributed to China’s prosperity in the past. I don’t think we will see that in this decade. The moment China attacks Taiwan then the music will end. We will definitely see a major military conflict in East Asia in the upcoming years.
Aaah, and Trump not helping you. So sad… not
Trump – The Great Builder of ‘Chayna’ .’
The United States is now a failed state. We’ve blown our brains out. The rest of the world will close ranks and move on as we set our collective blubbery racist butts in the warm bath of a never-ending 1959.
Solar and wind won’t power China’s invasion of Taiwan.
China is Smart. It went alternative energy out of fear that the United States will cut off its oil supply. United States is promoting oil because of the Petro dollar. In the United States energy is the future and we need to get that energy from alternative clean sources not from wood or coal or natural gas.
China’s government has smart people in it, America’s government has dumb people in it (unfortunately a reflection of the people that keep voting for them). This is the result.
Doesn’t pain me. China actually knows what they’re doing. They actually have brain cells.
Oh, just now?
Which is why Canada and a lot of the world are moving away from the US. We don’t want to live in the 19th century.
