Thank you for your comments, vetxcl.

The driver for renewables investment going to Asia is China. Its huge industrial boom of
the past few decades has been literally fuelled by coal and the country now consumes nearly
50% of the world’s mined coal and will run out in 30 years.

Long story short: they need a replacement for coal, and fast.

The US, on the other hand, is lacking a similar urgency to develop renewable alternatives. That’s not to say the investment isn’t there, or the quality of the project … but in terms of sheer volume of opportunites China is winning hands down.

Two NEW projects being started?! I say! How’s that possible, when investments are ‘leaving’ as the closet RepugnantCON would have others believe? (Hint: it’s not. The author is deluded and misleading.)

And it’s one, two, three , four , five strikes you’re out, at the ole’ CON game.

Gee, does Wallmart operate in the US? Maybe.

There’s another positive (seems like GE is still an American company;)

Nope, not buying the doom and gloom. There’s a traitor on the Clean Technica site.

And I know much better. Milton lives in a bubble.

The US is ruled by oil companies. They don’t want any other energy sources. Surprisingly, they even send the army to invade other countries so they can set up shop and sell other peoples’ oil too.
