There are enormous geopolitical, economic and climate ramifications to the U.S. abandoning leadership on the energy transition. If you live in America, basically none of them are good.

No they do not, they don’t even give two flying shits about America other than the nutcases that think they can reshape it into a white-techno-fascist-oligarchy and that they know what’s best for the population as they practice super-villain speeches in the mirror. But enough Stephen Miller specifically. The rest are just trying to get their bag and run.
Those in power in the US are deliberately hiding the advancements of other countries to keep the middle-class and blue-collar workers here deluded into thinking that their 10-hour workdays with no benefits is still the best in the world because you have the “freedom” to go buy mass-produced goods at Walmart or pay $7000 to walk into the ER of your choice when you suffer a critical illness or injury.
And it works wonders. You don’t need to censor the whole world or make militarized walls like North Korea (But it helps, hint hint: the “wall” they wanted to make was not to keep people out.) you just need to keep the bulk of people busy and distracted and out of touch with the rest of the world, and most people don’t care about anything outside of their daily life anyway.
If you want evidence of how deliberate this campaign of mass-delusion is, just fire up your favorite media website in another country, and look how radically different the news stories are, how radically different the tone is, how huge the outside world is and what the bulk of humanity actually care about. (Usually it’s everyone worried America is going to fuck everything up for everyone else.)
