   They are already developing batteries to balance the cycles. Hell, all of the electric cars will be portable batteries that you can run your house on.

   China already dominates solar! They now control 80% of solar manufacturing! And they did so because their government subsidized it!

   The US is going to be left behind. Joe Biden has done at least 2 things right: He placed a tariff on China green tech and he is working to get the US up to speed on renewables with government programs.

   You mark my words: We will lose if we don’t catch up.

   The US dominated petroleum early and kept control of it since. Great Britain dominated coal and built an empire with it. But these fuels are in the past, losing importance with each passing day. Soon the internal combustion engine will be on the scrap heap right next to the reciprocating steam engine. And you’ll be crowing about the 190 years of oil left in the ground. Nobody’s going to want it any more than they want hay for their horses.

   Notice I haven’t even mentioned global warming.

   You do realize that the Chinese are going to eat our lunch when it comes to solar and wind? They will become the global powerhouse of the 21st Century and we will be a sad little petrostate.

   I’m more concerned about China: so many people, not enough women for all the men.

   Frankly, I think Russia should be worried about China.

    Plant a garden. Stock up on ammunition so I can hunt deer. Make sure the diesel tank is full. Learn Chinese.
