How China, not the U.S., became the main climate solution story in 2025
How China, not the U.S., became the main climate solution story in 2025
The U.S. has become a "side character" in the global story of renewable energy, experts say. China dominates the sector, with positive implications for the climate and their economy. The article details how China is leading the global renewable energy sector, investing heavily in wind, solar, and battery technologies, which has become a significant driver of its economic growth. In contrast, the Trump administration in the U.S. is reversing federal support for renewable energy, leading to decreased investment and stalled projects like the Humboldt Bay marine terminal. Experts argue that China's consistent policy support makes it the main story in fighting climate change, while the U.S. federal government's policies are undermining its own clean energy industry and climate progress.
Note
not too much to add to the familiar story here.
the new angle of hope here is that, while leadership roles are evolving, climate solutions and goals will continue to make progress.
i hope this proves to be true, though i don't think it is a given.
