Donald Trump’s lethal fossil/nuke attack on the US renewable energy industry is poised to destroy America’s ability to compete in global markets for the foreseeable future.
“Drill baby drill” and yet another “nuclear renaissance” are Trump’s siren calls for a destroyed American economy.
Despite Trump’s “Big, Beautiful” hype, wind, solar, geothermal, battery storage and other green sources are far cheaper, safer, cleaner, more reliable, faster to build and job producing than fossil fuels and nuclear reactors.
Thus, more than 80% of the world’s new energy production continues to come from wind, solar, geothermal, battery storage and other green sources. Both nuclear power and fossil fuels are in steep global decline.
Though photovoltaic cells were first deployed at New Jersey’s Bell Labs in 1957, the booming solar panel industry is now dominated by China. The U.S. does have the capacity to produce a substantial 50 gigawatts of solar panels every year.
