Republican politics, funded by oil money, want to slow the transition from fossil fuel energy to electric power. The U.S. is lagging behind China and the EU in this transition. If this continues the US will be at a disadvantage with higher energy cost compared to global competition.

China will reach declining use of coal 2024. They will install 50% of the world’s solar electric power in 2023. The EV share of the transportation market is highest in China. In the EU, Norway EV and plug in hybrid share of the market is 90%. Across all EU the EV share of the market is years ahead of the U.S.

The U.S. is ramping up EV and wind solar and grid storage but my view is pick up the pace or be at a disadvantage for global competition.
