Do you know how the US changed the world order?
Black gold. Texas tea... OIL that is.
But like it or not, the world is changing and they who control the energy future, control... us?
And do you know which country is absolutely crushing the green energy revolution? China.

"In Beijing’s view, whoever builds the clean-energy economy will write the rules of the next world order — just as the United States once did through oil, arms and the dollar. Decarbonisation, by this logic, is statecraft, not climate stewardship.
Domestically, it doubles as an insurance policy, securing water, food, and energy on China’s terms before scarcity and climate shocks arrive. This strategy grants Beijing the mandate to plan decades ahead and mobilise entire sectors." (Unherd)
And this is why I feel it's short-sighted to let, short-term profit driven - Oil tycoons - drive the electric bus of our future.
Once you acknowledge that climate change is REAL and clean energy is the future - just look to the insurance industry if you don't want to trust the scientists - then yes, it seems logical that China would use it as an opportunity for global dominance.
But here's an interesting factoid...
Right now, little 'ol Canada also holds beneath it's vast wilderness, most of the 'essential minerals' that will be required for the technology of our future.
But it has only begun to scale it's extraction of said minerals.
Far behind China.
And so the race is on to not only stop our changing climate, but as many would argue, to also dictate which country or countries will dictate the new world order.
Will our future be an endless supply of hockey night in Canada??? Gawd, help us.
