Didn't they also cover an entire mountain in solar as a demo? They also have the most, lowest cost electric cars while having the biggest oil stockpile We are now the dumbest nation or at least led in all aspects by the dumbest people Going to take a century to repair the brain drain adding: https://www.ecoportal.net/en/carpeting-mountains-with-solar-...

Looks like 5 of the largest on shore wind farms re Chinese. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_farm#Onshore A little more wikipedia about Chinese wind power: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_power_in_China Edit to add the photos make them look pretty attractive.

Yeah but if he's just a little crueler to brown people none of this will matter.

Not to defend Trump but I think what he meant was "no wind farms to speak of". Meaning that they're not investing heavily in wind, but rather in solar and existing coal. What he's wrong about is that they're not starting to invest in wind, they most certainly are!
