China boosts profitable renewables as Trump clings to coal. China makes most of the world’s tech for the global energy transition — 80% of solar panels, 60% of wind turbines and 75% of EVs and batteries. Trump plans to expand the coal fleet and add new gas projects. “The US is being left behind.”

Yea no shit. Trump is a moron and has accelerated the arrival of the Chinese century. All we have to blame are ourselves.
MAHA my ass, MCGA & MRGA.
No. Republicans in Congress are making America fall behind. And they’re allowing it to happen on their watch because they don’t want Trump to come after them. They know that as long as they don’t do their job and avoid impeaching Trump, they can get rich investing in all the right companies (China too) using insider information and make their millions. They don’t even have to go back home to face their constituents and get campaign donations. And they know that a sizable portion of their Republican constituents are such irredeemable morons that they will never catch on to the grift.

The US isn’t being left behind, it has turned around and is running the opposite direction.

Yes. It is as if we are at the turn of the last century. The whole world has moved on or is moving onto the lightbulb… And we elected a guy who’s trying to cling to, and have the world keep buying his kerosene lamp
Elect a clown you get a circus 🎪
Now even some states are trying to pass laws to pause new solar construction for like two years. Maybe longer because of the wording on these bills
Just where Putin wants us. Falling behind and easy pickings.
I was just thinking this morning how Trump is ceding this century to China by obstructing both innovative renewable energy and electric cars. It’s a fact that renewable energy is cheaper and electric cars are more efficient, both factors that would greatly enhance our overall economy if we could be competitive with China.
Make us great,trump
Why do people put governments on pedestals. The US isn’t great because of it’s government. It’s great in spite of it. Renewables were the vast majority of new growth in 2025 in the US and will be again in 2026. The government doesn’t actually decide what is built….. You all are just falling for propaganda.
