This moron doesn’t understand that green energy was a new sector where US could dominate for decades.
A lot of countries are forced to import fossil fuels as they can’t produce their own so replacing that with local alternatives actually increases national security.
Do people think China went into renewable energy because suddenly Xi became a tree hugger?
From what I’ve gleaned of the ravings of the angry stupid right blogosphere, a lot of people actually do think that only tree huggers want green energy.
And I have little doubt that that’s an opinion that Trump shares, but that’s not his main motivation in all of this. His main motivation is big fat bribes from the fossil fuel industry.
He’s not in a position to know (much, including) how many investors have put their money on green. A few months to put up a low/no-waste solar or windmill farm (he hates how they look) and start profiting … 10 years (at least) to build a high-waste nuke (and decades of paying interest on those expensive long-term loans)
It’s the moment Sears let Amazon take the lead on mail order shopping just because Sears didn’t understand how the internet and shopping could work together.
Just use solar panels to power the ac to cool the water that makes the nuclear. Bonus points for floating solar arrays that cool the panels while shading the cooling water.
Extra bonus: you get to blame perfectly functional renewables when nuclear fails.
Germany is worse than average for Europe, but it’s far better than America and about on par with China. Per capita emissions are a little lower than China’s, but China is a bit better if you look at consumption-based emissions instead
And thanks to Trump, the US is perfectly placed to be entirely left behind.

Doesn’t understand, also doesn’t care. Coal and oil paid for his loyalty.
Not only the US , Germany is also far behind
don’t worry, you can start shutting down france’s nuclear generators once you run out of your own
They are already shutting it down on their own due to recent heatwaves raising the temps of the water used to cool down their reactors
Which is an ecological measure, not a technical one, and can be circumvented by existing technologies like cooling towers

Oh, but Germans can just buy their electricity from French nuclear plants.
Jellyfish; Hold my protozoa…
More behind than an anal orgy.
Don’t get my hopes up
