Our data centers now consume more power than small cities. While China expands its energy production through whatever source is expedient, we face permitting delays and political scaremongering.

Deregulate, deregulate, deregulate. No thanks we need real environmental regulation not even less.

and just to be clear this is what they're talking about when they say "China expands its energy production through whatever source is expedient" https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jun/26/china-breaks-more-records-with-massive-build-up-of-wind-and-solar-power

Ah but you see, they don't actually care about the environment, they're only investing in renewable energy because it's expedient and furthers their evil commie regime.

That's right, it's all a clever ploy to undermine the US.

Ironically the US keeps trying to warn that if the world keeps trying to move away from oil, those "money hungry" and "savage" Arab oil producing countries will drag us into the next world war because their investments are threatened by renewables. When in reality the US will probably be the one to do that when everyone else has moved on to renewables and the US has to get a "return" on the obsolete fossil fuel infrastructure only they invested in and nobody wants.

Exactly, the US is the most recalcitrant nation in terms of shifting away from oil right now.
