We have lost the battle against climate change and we have also lost the battle against China dominating the electric/digital age.

While those in Western states were arguing over whether oil or gas is more gay China, with an eye to the future and its energy independence, started cementing ties with suppliers of critical minerals and now dominates the entire renewable supply chain. It is leaping ahead of the west in research and without all those weird western ideas about data sovereignty and privacy has a huge stock of data to feed its renewable-powered AI super computers.

I’m annoyed that future generations will lump us all together as negligent and selfish non-actors in the same way I curse all boomers every time I have to pay rent.
