That’s why I agree with the POTUS we should become a leader in green tech. i.e. we can make wind turbines cheaper here than shipping from China, even with the lower labor costs.

You’re being sold snake-oil, my friend. China’s building coal-burning plants by the fuck-ton, same with nukes. They’re also buying up oil like it’s going out of style and on the way to eventually matching and finally passing us as the world’s largest consumer. Green tech sells well to the rubes, but they know that it isn’t going to fuel the sort of growth they’re looking at for the immediate term.
