Can the U.S. get back on track with Green Energy/Green Technology?
We often hear the line "Oil & Gas is being held back!" in reality the United States of America is the #1 producer and consumer of oil barrels a day in the world. It produces around 3-4 MILLION barrels a day of oil more than Saudi Arabia.
Not only is the Fossil Fuel Industry massive in a domestic industry sense the nation also benefits from the Petrodollar framework.
There has been countless politicians from both the Democratic Party and Republican Party in the pockets of the Oil & Gas Industry.
That being said Trump and his administration have taken this to a new level.
He has placed Oil & Gas Lobbyists/Executives into incredibly powerful positions.
They then started hiding the climate crisis and overall environmental crisis from the populace, firing climate scientists, full on trying to ban Green Energy, and even going as far as try and ban the terms "Green Energy" and "Climate Change" from certain federal offices..
Very strong petrocracy dimensions to say the least.
In the last decade plus China has become a leading force in Green Energy & Green Technology.
BYD Company, CATL, and so on.
Leading in Solar Power, Wind Power, Battery Technology, Next generation Nuclear Power, and so on.
China has explained they are doing this because they know the climate crisis will impact them sooner and harder than parts of North America.
They also want to be leaders in the next era of energy/technology to profit from those advancements.
One thing that has been clear since the Industrial Revolution through the various periods of the Technological Revolution is that you want to be a leading player in Research & Development and of course implementation of new frontiers of technology - Especially ones that help with affordability of life (Green Energy is not just cleaner... It is cheaper.....)
