Biden’s former Energy Sec. Granholm claims ‘China Will Be Thrilled if Trump Kills America’s Green Economy’

President Trump seems poised to roll back the very incentives that are reviving American manufacturing.

By Jennifer Granholm

Excerpt: “Trump seems poised to roll back the very incentives that are reviving American manufacturing,” writes Jennifer Granholm, who was the governor of Michigan from 2003 to 2011. “This is a risky economic strategy. Other governments are waiting with bated breath for us to pare back our grants, loans and tax credits so they can use the same tools to sweet-talk the next generation of factories to their shores.”

AP impressed with China! China built out record amount of wind and solar power in 2024 – ‘Continuing to leave all other countries in the dust’ 

China raced ahead building renewable energy last year, installing more wind and solar power than ever before and continuing to leave all other countries in the dust.

The nation put up 357 gigawatts of solar and wind, a 45% and 18% increase, respectively, over what was operating at the end of 2023, according to China’s National Energy Administration. That’s akin to building 357 full-size nuclear plants in one year.

The installations meant China surpassed a goal, six years early, of having 1,200 gigawatts from renewables by 2030, a benchmark Chinese President Xi Jinping set five years ago.
