Super interesting article about how the American epoch of oil is collapsing, and how China is dominating the energy transition. As summed up by Perplexity: 1️⃣ Trump’s “energy dominance” doctrine has turned the US into a belligerent petrostate, using war with Iran and the seizure of Venezuela to prop up oil profits as the era of cheap renewables arrives. 2️⃣ China has quietly become an electrostate: renewables now dominate its energy investment, solar capacity has overtaken coal, EVs are more than half of new car sales, and clean tech exports are binding it to the global south. 3️⃣ While Trump exits Paris, guts the UN climate system, packs government with oil executives and kneecaps wind and solar, China’s clean energy sector has grown to over a tenth of its GDP, giving Beijing both climate leverage and soft power. 4️⃣ The piece argues this fuels “fossil fuel fascism”: a billionaire-backed, far-right project using dark money, disinfo, repression and war to keep a dying oil order alive, even as most citizens and scientists demand a rapid green transition theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i…?
