    Meh, as long as they’re building it, whatever gets them to do it is fine with me. I care less about their motivation than I do about keeping as much fossil fuel in the ground as possible

        Yep, and it’s a stupid ass decision. Even if you bought into the idea that America needs to be dominant in the energy sector for the next century, they’re completely ceding that position to China. The future of energy is not in combustion, it’s in renewables. And America seems to have no desire to lead the world on that front

          I’m no tankie, but I’ve been saying for well over a decade, the 21st century is China’s century. It’s just history. America has fallen, China has been rising, and China has been planning and governing for a decades-long uprising.
