Ron Wyden: "We are in an arms race in clean energy with China. Are you going to be on the side of people who want to unravel this?"

Scott Bessent: "China will build 100 new coal plants this year. There is not a clean energy race. There is an energy race."

Seems Bessent is not up to date though. China already started slashing permits for new coal plants early last year (by >80%) and the amount of fossil plants they build is now tiny compared to renewables

China added more renewable capacity in 2024 alone than the US has built in it's entire history. The direction China is going is very clear, and it's not fossil

I haven’t seen that. Are there resources you recommend where I can read up on that?
