I don’t like purity for purity’s sake, but maybe at 545% tariffs, this starts to be an out.

3d printing lugs for carbon fiber, bamboo, metal tubes and beams, and fitting in regular motors, electronics, bearings, belts is a good/best path to reduced BOM and high performance/value.

They had their chance to show MS 13 gang membership in court, and failed. Screaming it over from podiums/media doesn’t make it true, or a basis for jail/death camps.

Your graph will make China look better when it includes 2024. The only thing you can control on energy mix is growth rate. Adding more fast enough. You should go easy on praise for US, as Ukraine war is both a massive emission increase, and scramble for new “good oil” supply developments, and deprioritization of global sustainability. The IRA, while better than nothing, is a scheme to protect monopoly profits using “climate change as a profitability/relevance economic engine” for the US market, and the solar/battery/EV tariffs designed to make actual progress as slow as possible.

emissions is a function of how much coal plants are used. Plan is likely backup power. OP reports less coal electricity use in 2024. More solar will reduce it more. Europe has declined fossil electricity by over 10% this year. China’s growth is just extremely high, but they too will have large declines soon.

US reductions are based on

1. The assumption that natural gas doesn’t leak, and replacement of coal for natural gas.
2. more importantly, deindustrialization and efficiency improvements in computers and TVs and lighting.

China’s electricity consumption grew 8% last year. Typical since 2000. US electricity has been pretty stable since 2007.

Very significant blow to clean energy, NY independence, and to the value of US relations/law/trust. Burgum BS of “all of the above” energy also shown to be BS.

US border is asking questions about your opinion of Trump. No other country does that, even if going out of your way to bad mouth their leadership won’t be appreciated.

The answer “it’s none of my business, you guys elected him.” resulted in being turned away from the border.
