> Now, when other countries undergo the same economic transformations US had long time ago

Here's the thing: they don't have to make all the same mistakes we made. Wind and solar was science fiction in the 70's and is economically feasible today yet China choose to go all-in with the dirtiest coal on the planet.



Uhm, if you don’t think China is investing heavily in solar and wind generation, then you are in for a very big surprise. It’s just that with NG going up so much recently, they are leaning on coal heavily again so their economy doesn’t crash, long term they have a good direction set with renewables, better probably than the USA.

And it’s all due to economic self interest and survival that they are doing renewables so aggressively, it has nothing to do with perceived fairness or whatever.
