China’s solar and wind con sputters as Trump boosts energy

“… The Chinese con of supplying the world with solar panels and wind turbines while it builds coal and nuclear plants is now sputtering.

Trump will produce more traditional energy
— oil, gas, nuclear, and coal —
than any other nation in history.

Despite its green dogmas, Europe will follow suit or stagnate further.

… In summary, during the Biden administration, China had expected to see 70,000 Americans die annually without facing consequences.

It expected to continue openly stealing American technology and waging one-sided trade against the U.S., as it picked off America’s demoralized Asian allies.

China wagered that the U.S. was slowly and inevitably turning into a North American Europe
— depressed and drug-ridden, insidiously becoming socialist, borderless, and flooded with unassimilated and often hostile illegal aliens.

Suicidally, it would continue to forgo cheap fossil fuels for expensive and unreliable “green” energy while chasing its tail with self-destructive DEI, transgender, and crime policies.

Its universities would continue to indoctrinate a new generation of anti-American socialists in the spirit of leftist radicals like Zohran Mamdani, Jasmine Crockett, and AOC to update the moribund dreams of Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.

The U.S. is reascending at home and abroad, and its allies, including even Europe and especially Asia, are reenergized.

Conservative movements and governments are rebounding in Europe.

So for Chinese strongman Xi Jinping, it was time to cut a deal, to pause, to regroup, and to hope that in three, seven, or eleven years, another Obama- or Biden-naif would return.

And then it might finish its now half-century-long effort to relegate a calcifying U.S. to the 1950s version of the British Empire.

Or so China assumed.

But then America said, “Not yet, not quite yet…”

    excellent points, thank you.

    I fear that most of the Western world has been so dumbed down in the last few decades, that many Westerners have lost the innate human ability to think and to reason, and are merely content with being *told* what to think.
