...will have to decide whether and on what terms they want to work with an economically dominant China on the climate problem.
Here's the fuel mix for my pissant little non-profit local power authority for the last 24 hours. 20 years ago it was, except for the same amount of hydro, all fossil fuels. The wind is from turbines built somewhere in the US. The solar is from panels built in Georgia. Another 100MW of solar comes online late this year, along with a 100MW 400MWh battery system. The batteries are from a Korean company's US plant. For coal, 100MW is the minimum plant output that still allows for a warm start. The wholly-owned coal plant's power is as cheap as the wind or solar because local circumstances, so gets dispatched by the balancing authority.
Despite Trump's efforts, there are still things going on in the US, even if we aren't leading.
