China must be very pleased (and puzzled) with the current administration’s policies on wind power. China loves using wind energy to generate electricity, because it is clean, cheap, and fairly easy to implement — what’s not to like? They’re winning the race to get smarter and cheaper artificial intelligence, and now they’re going to surge ahead … Continue reading U.S. withdrawal from wind power is ‘making China great again’
