China is building the future of energy and America is watching from the sidelines. As China installs gigawatts of renewables every day, U.S. companies still lean on 20th-century fossil tech.
In this clip, former North Carolina legislator John Szoka joins Doug Lewin to break down the global energy race and why Texas could still take the lead if we act fast.
*Takeaways:*
– 🇨🇳 China installs 1.5–2 GW of renewable energy every day.
– ⚡ U.S. automakers are lagging behind in the global EV market.
– 🌎 Whoever controls energy controls the future economy.
– 💡 Texas leads the nation in renewable capacity and could lead the world.
– 🧭 Why “provincial thinking” is America’s biggest obstacle.
Texas has the independence, innovation, and drive to lead the clean energy transition, but only if we move beyond short-term politics and think globally.
