The US won’t let China build cars in the US.
I wouldn’t worry. The US is only 17% of the global car market. In a few years, it’ll be obvious that protectionism didn’t work.

I think the general theme is that you’re wrong a lot and you should use ChatGPT before making a comment

What percentage of his stock is he selling? It appears your comment doesn’t fit the amount that he is selling.

He got some things wrong but was right on a lot.

China is building more new nuclear power than the rest of the world combined. They’ll soon produce as much renewable electricity as the United States produces electricity

Who cares. Fix the big problems first. The general public is already complaining about subsidizing EVs, renewables, etc.
It’s ridiculous the amount of fossil fuels we still burn for electricity.
This “shame, shame” garbage that people did never worked.

It’s 2.5-3% of all global emissions.
People who complain about aviation do more harm than good.
We would accomplish more by closing a few coal power plants and replacing them with renewables or nuclear. And no one would even notice.
Can you believe it’s almost 2030 and we still haven’t reached peak coal.

I think he’s really just trying to spur your imagination into imagining if someone like that had lived longer.
Anyway, this conversation has been had repeatedly. Many people seem to be unable to imagine that positive benefit of much longer lives.
Suppose that’s why “Science advances one funeral at a time.”

Fortunately EVs are also cheaper. Unfortunately, the US has a 100% tariff on the less expensive Chinese EVs and batteries.
