They are using every influence lever they can pull to try to ensure global Net Zero remains on track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">China doesn\u2019t seem to care if Net Zero wrecks the global economy, so long as China ends up on top. Perhaps they hope a broken world would be easy pickings for China\u2019s greedy elites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">With President Trump strides the world stage, trampling green sacred cows, and some CEOs championing energy sanity, it is easy to think the battle is over. But China is patient, their culture champions the long game. China is doing everything in their power to replace the USA as the global superpower. The measure of their vast influence is the number of Western politicians and leading business figures who still champion green energy and the Chinese way, both within and outside the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">If President Trump\u2019s successor is not equal to the challenge of continuing the Trump energy abundance agenda, and companies like BlackRock start maneuvering for trillions of dollars of re-instated green subsidies, 2029 will feel like 2021 all over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anti-renewable blasphemy in the Davos World Economic Forum, the citadel of globalism.
