Thanks to Guyanese Online blog for sharing this must-see video.
While the American government has decided to invest more in producing fossil fuels, the transition to affordable renewable energy is underway in major regions around the world. As investments continue to grow for the renewable energy industry, the fossil fuel industry will collapse. The transition is unstoppable: so says the Managing Director of Citigroup (9:50 on video).
Since October 2016, the cost of producing wind & solar energy has fallen below that of coal, oil, and gas. According to a German investor (21:15 video) seeking to expand his company’s portfolio in the Middle East, oil would have to fall to US$10/barrel to compete with renewal energy.
Meanwhile, our corporate-controlled government has convinced its supporters that America can become great again like it once was in the 1950s. Moving backwards inside of forwards into a sustainable and livable future on Earth.

Thanks for post Rosaliene. Green technologies and renewable energies are the markets to get in to and Donald Trump is sending the USA in the wrong direction back to King Coal. It is countries like China and India who are cashing in. Take a look at my website on these issues: https://mankindsdegradationofplanetearth.com/

Ivan, thanks for dropping by and for your valuable resource. In our drive for human development, we have failed to conserve all that Mother Earth provides for our existence.

There is irony here, that the free market may undercut the very people who have extolled the virtues of an unrestrained free market, at least those in the fossil fuel industry and their allies.

Ironic, indeed, Dr. Stein. That’s why the fossil fuel industry is fighting back with all the power they still maintain.

Utterly illogical. I worry that the USA and Canada will get so left behind with such a blind perspective. Appalling really.

I agree, Diana. We will not only be left behind, but we will also be left with lots of environmental destruction.

That is wonderful news. I wish now I still had the $14,000 I spent on a new fibreglass roof four years ago – I’d put a solar roof on today… ! It’s a win-win thing to do, especially now that batteries are becoming so much “user friendly” and solar systems are becoming more serviceable. At least I can look forward to the day I truly retire (from the volunteer work) and switch from a gas powered van to a clean and QUIET electric car. Thanks for the good news, and I wouldn’t worry about the push to hang on to a fifties mindset… watch “Pleasantville” again!!! They’ll slow down the transition, it’s what dinosaurs do, but the dinosaurs, well, they ain’t here no more (except in corporate and political centers, that is but if the sheeple ever awaken long enough to stop listening to them, that will take care of itself.)

Sha’Tara, I also think it’s wonderful news. As Dr. Stein notes, it’s ironic that the free market may undermine the fossil fuel industry. By the way, does your city/province offer solar tax rebates as we have here in California?
Yes, “Pleasantville” wasn’t all that pleasant when viewed from a more modern perspective. Those were the days when we were lulled into our dreamlike existence of consumption gratification. The sheeple supporting our corporate state have yet to awaken.
By playing their trump card, the dinosaurs are indeed slowing down the transition.

The problem over here in Europe is that electric cars have should a very short range and there are pitifully few places to recharge and it takes a long time. You would struggle to go out for a trip of say, 100 miles. People will buy them, but they need a lot of work on the technology yet.

Yes, we’ve still a long way to go with developing better electric cars. That’s why it’s important for us to invest in clean energy technologies, like the Chinese are doing.

I hope you’re right and it does collapse. I am more hopeful about the future than I have been for a while though!

I’m also hopeful, Mary. The mainstream media in America is not only failing to keep us abreast with climate change disruption, but they are also failing to bring us news about the progress being made worldwide in our transition to renewable energy.

Rosaliene,
Thanks for the post. I’m fine with China and India leading the way. The US could use a little humility.

Katharine, we need much more than humility. Here’s what Fareed Zakaria had to say in his article “Say hello to a post-American world,” posted on July 28, 2017.
“According to a recent Pew Research Center survey of 37 countries, people around the world increasingly believe that they can make do without America. Trump’s presidency is making the United States something worse than just feared or derided. It is becoming irrelevant.”

Rosaliene, My point, too. I’m glad others are saying the US is becoming irrelevant. The come-uppance is well deserved, and it is humbling. It might be the best treatment possible for our national “spoiled rotten brat syndrome.”
