"Chinese Province Larger Than Texas Just Ran For An Entire Week On Only Renewable Energy

Qinghai province used only wind, solar and hydroelectric power to supply its population of 5.8 million."

It is sad that the US won't be the country doing such a thing. Very sad.

Equally sad was trump scrapping the Trans Pacific Partnership TPP agreement that would have created a leverage for 12 countries of Asia, plus the US, in their resistance against China's hegemony in the region, by being active trade partners of the US and not of China. This trade agreement would have been the largest trade block in the world and would have protected human rights in all the 12 countries involved; it would also have increased the American GNP. Now all of Asia belongs to China.

Forever.

And now the protection of the environment belongs to China.

Frankly, I can't stop wondering how stupid the Americans are. I wonder about this day after day as I watch on http://www.gallup.com/poll/201617/gallup-daily-trump-job-approval.aspx a consistent 36 to 39% of voters maintaining their support to trump no matter what he does or says. Of course there is a consistent 54 to 59% of voters who disapprove but they don't seem to be able to do much, mostly with the new Supreme Court appointee and those to come soon. Like Bill Maher says, the only solution for the center and the left is to win elections.
