I took it out of the meme to avoid seeming cluttered, but I must mention that they don’t just want USian corporations to have the monopoly. Renewables are at odds with capitalism and capitalists know oil is more lucrative than less labor intensive alternatives. Ted Reese makes a strong explanation for the lack of adoption of hemp and solar in SoE.

    The COAL that is being burned in china to power those "green" electric cars and other electric stuff is kinda ignored here. China consumes literally 50% of coal produced in the world. Im not saying its much better in other places because instead of coal they use gas which is a lot cleaner but still bad. Calling china green is like calling saudi arabia green.
