China is installing massive amounts of solar and wind energy, adding ten gigawatts of wind and solar capacity every two weeks, which is like building five large nuclear plants every week. And this really, really makes me mad because the US needs to be doing this. Every time I fly, I fly over wide open country that is getting hit by the sun. And it's windy down there and it's like, oh, we don't have enough jobs for people and we don't have enough energy, and we have way too much open

land being hit by the sun and wind. Why can we not do this? Especially when we know that AI is going to need all this energy and we just we need to put people to work, and we need the energy, and we have the wide open space and

we need to build more housing. So it's like this is the perfect opportunity for a massive, like FDR type event, which hopefully the next president gets on this because yeah, I do not like the idea of China having all this extra energy to do whatever with and us not having it.
