Trump is just hitting one home run after another. Best president ever. We need another one like him after his term ends to really dedollarise and go Green.
He singlehandedly killed the petrodollar and made clean energy a global imperative. He truly may be the best president the empire has had.
I’m hopeful that this attack on Iran will have the long-term beneficial outcome of accelerating the move to renewables in the Global South. What’s happening to Cuba right now should be a warning to everyone: if your country relies on fossil fuels, the US can and will cut you off from those fuels if it doesn’t like the cut of your jib. I think that’s the real reason Trump is going so hard against things like windmills. He wants to see everyone dependent on oil - and is positioning the US to control global oil flows in order to force the world to bend to the US’ will. Any country that wants to preserve its sovereignty needs to be looking into getting off oil dependency yesterday. And thankfully, China is building out the capacity now to satisfy that demand for renewable energy.
Exactly, I really hope that renewables start being reframed as energy sovereignty.
That’s right. America’s manifest destiny on the world is the white man’s burden of ~~stealing~~ seizing, embargoing or bombing fossil fuel supplies to all the countries unable to govern themselves in an appeasing and submissive way
Another "Do nothing. Win" moment
I wouldn't call china's buildup of renewable energy nothing. They have done a lot
The "Do nothing. Win" meme is in actuality a reference to Daoist concept of "wu wei", which is translated something like 'non-action', 'effortless action' or 'action without forcing it'. You just stay in your lane, keep going and victories big and small fall onto your lap. America is the one who is blundering around and supplying China easy wins.
PROPAGANDA ALERT!
Ah yes, ABC doing Chinese propaganda. Stay mad little chud.
