Any guesses on who is more reliant on fossil fuels: China or the United States?

Clean Tech, Advanced Energy, & Advanced Manufacturing

Good morning,

A terrorist attack at a Turkish A&D firm near Ankara has resulted in at least 5 deaths, highlighting the continued and heightened state of danger in our world. After a report found TSMC chips buried in Huawei subsystems, TSMC has reportedly stopped supplying to the third party. It’s important to note that the third party was not a sanctioned party, and TSMC has been diligent in trying to abide by restrictions against selling chips to certain Chinese companies. Speaking of China, they are leading the BRICS in breaking away from fossil fuels, with the bloc now get nearly 50% of their energy from renewables. By comparison, the United States derives about 22% of its energy from renewables and more than 60% from fossil fuels, still. Not everything should be a competition between us and the China-led axis of autocracy, but this is pretty pathetic, still.

Let’s dive in!
