ENERGY IS THE LIFEBLOOD OF ALL NATIONS - CLEAN RENEWABLE ENERGY IS THE GOAL WHILE TRANSITIONING LOGICALLY
NATIONS TRANSITIONING IN A LOGICAL & FUNCTIONAL COST-BENEFIT MANNER WILL THRIVE. NATIONS TRANSITIONING VIA RADICAL POLICIES WITH RADICAL RESTRICTIONS WILL FALTER.
Energy is the lifeblood of every nation & China is maximizing their energy production capabilities as a key component of their five (5) and ten (10) year plans geared toward global dominance. China will be the dominate super power in the latter half of the 21st century and beyond unless America has a 180ᵒ shift toward maximizing our energy resources, production, manufacturing and self-independence for pharmaceuticals, rare earth minerals, technology & other essential goods & commodities.
China is currently the number one global producer of clean renewable energy because they are also accessing 100% of their fossil fuel energy sources in addition to building nuclear power plants across their vast geographical nation. China is restricting nothing! China has 260+ coal-fired power stations with another 515 individual units proposed, permitted or under construction in addition to building another 150 nuclear reactors over the next decade+ as America just opened one (1) new plant and is building none! Using the economic power resulting from their fossil fuel production, China is building the world’s largest power grid and currently has built the largest UHV (ultra-high voltage) power transmission technology system on the planet with plans to connect internationally around the world. China has also built a similar, but smaller, UHV system in Brazil in accordance with their Belt & Road Initiative. India is doing likewise.

Energy dominance equals economic dominance, military dominance & global super power dominance. It’s that simple.
Unless America has a total systemic 180ᵒ course correction & returns to the customs & practices that made America the greatest nation on planet earth, Communist China is likely to become the globe’s dominate superpower during this century; much the same as America was the world’s dominate superpower in the 20th century. America produces the cleanest oil, natural gas & energy in the world via a cleaner production process with a smaller carbon footprint than any other nation on the globe. While clean renewable energy will hopefully, and likely, become both America’s and a global norm, the nations who transition in a logical cost-benefit manner will thrive while those who attempt to enact radical restrictions on existing resources will falter.
Sadly, frighteningly, not for us older folks but for our kids and more so our grandkids, America is becoming too systemically dysfunctional and dystopian to survive as a dominate superpower in a violent predatory world of functional adversaries.
