Trump: Try finding wind farms in China

I read an article the other day--the theme was that China has made lots of progress toward using alternative power while Trump is leading us-the US backwards toward fossil fuels.
They are correct.

less than 8% of their energy from wind, so I guess it would be 8% more coal plants.

oil in the 70s and threw out the U.S. exploiters and Iran No. 3 in oil reserves who had agreements dating back to 1954. Saudi Arabia is No. 2 and they renegotiated their agreements with U.S. companies in the 70s when we had that economic disaster, the oil embargoes.

So instead of investing more in alternate energy sources, Trump is guaranteeing that we are at the mercy of the oilmen.
