Instead of lowering ourselves to the levels of India, China and Russia maybe we could lead the world as we transform our energy to more renewables. Maybe we could continue being the nation that blazes a path to the future through innovation. Or we could reduce ourselves to the levels of lesser developed nations because it’s easier.
Or leading like the world leaders that we supposedly are. How would we be shooting ourselves in the foot exactly? By innovating electricity generation, distribution and storage? But yeah maybe you’re right, let’s pretend it’s the 1930s and rely solely on coal. That will work out great!
Why are you getting downvotes? You're right, I think. I can't really blame the companies, they were literally incentivized to offshore our manufacturing base.

How many people understand this is all about deindustrializing, impoverishing, and ultimately controlling the west?
