Chinese solar is now expanding so fast that by the early 2030s, the country will generate more power from the sun than the amount of electricity the U.S. will consume altogether. https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/18/climate/climate-china-solar-wind-dg

Now checkout there Nuclear power development. That's the danger to America. It'll give them Superiority in energy/tech if we dont get moving.
Solar isn't built for that.

This is one of those @FrankLuntz gentle reminders to /search?q=#MAGA that hating on solar power or saying loudly that global warming is a myth isn't a long-term winning strategy. It is a polite way of saying that /search?q=#MAGA is a backwards philosophy.

@LarryBoorstein
We can't have solar in the United States because, like other vampires, Donald Trump is afraid of sunlight. He's afraid of his own shadow. He's also afraid of wind. But not "big, beautiful clean coal," because he loves black lung disease, cancer and cardiovascular damage.

@elander777
... and China is also ramping up its use of wind turbines, aka windmills, to generate power.

@SanjayNarayan
Who cares? More importantly, they’re also building 350+ coal fire power plants in next decade, orders of magnitude more than we are, and hundreds of Gen 4 nuclear reactors. That’s what we should be doing in US - to produce more reliable energy, and drive down cost.

@agentic_orange
This is a claim being made by people trying to sell solar cells made in China to americans. They're still starting new Coal Power plants. If they thought solar was going to be the way of the future, they would not be starting new coal power plants.

@JulesMoffit
I love how the right claims that everything they’ve done is to bring back respect and power to America but when you begin to stack up the progress made by the two superpowers of the world, it’s not even fukking close.

@douglasritz
“the country will generate more power from the sun than the amount of electricity the U.S. will consume altogether.”

They are also permitting two coal-fired power plants PER WEEK to supplement the shyt tech that is solar.

@CAlowdown
Like the centrally planned, unused ghost cities? How many hillsides covered with solar panels in China will be unused, and not connected to a reliable grid? Also, coal plants continue to be built. China wishes they had natgas reserves like America 🇺🇸.

“By the early 2030s”

Really. The early 2030s? Not 2031 or 2034? Just a vague, hand waving of a general time period far away enough to be possibly plausible but too far away that anyone will remember to do a follow up?

Nah. Not buying it.

And destroying their landscape for a completely unreliable power source. Yeah, that's not a flex, Frank.

@parrishdb71
How much power do they generate from coal?



27/37
@northstar_wind
Good for them. Very exciting to get away from fossil fuels. Let's hope they continue to perfect energy sources for the good of our planet.

Trump gave us coal and this👇 that dikk tator.

@KevinSLeahy
What most will overlook is that this move to solar, combined with the country’s move to EVs, will dramatically shrink their need to import oil. This will de-risk their exposure to global oil price swings, and make their economy more resilient.

Good thing the Big Beautiful Bill increased funding for Solar by 10X.

Not.
