WEBVTT - How China is Winning The Energy War

0:00:21.303 --> 0:00:24.903
<v S1>China is installing massive amounts of solar and wind energy,

0:00:24.903 --> 0:00:31.023
<v S1>adding ten gigawatts of wind and solar capacity every two weeks,

0:00:31.233 --> 0:00:36.723
<v S1>which is like building five large nuclear plants every week.

0:00:36.753 --> 0:00:40.473
<v S1>And this really, really makes me mad because the US

0:00:40.473 --> 0:00:43.173
<v S1>needs to be doing this. Every time I fly, I

0:00:43.203 --> 0:00:47.583
<v S1>fly over wide open country that is getting hit by

0:00:47.583 --> 0:00:52.443
<v S1>the sun. And it's windy down there and it's like, oh,

0:00:52.473 --> 0:00:55.083
<v S1>we don't have enough jobs for people and we don't

0:00:55.083 --> 0:00:57.753
<v S1>have enough energy, and we have way too much open

0:00:57.753 --> 0:01:03.273
<v S1>land being hit by the sun and wind. Why can

0:01:03.303 --> 0:01:06.543
<v S1>we not do this? Especially when we know that AI

0:01:06.543 --> 0:01:10.323
<v S1>is going to need all this energy and we just

0:01:10.413 --> 0:01:12.903
<v S1>we need to put people to work, and we need

0:01:12.903 --> 0:01:16.293
<v S1>the energy, and we have the wide open space and

0:01:16.293 --> 0:01:19.233
<v S1>we need to build more housing. So it's like this

0:01:19.233 --> 0:01:25.083
<v S1>is the perfect opportunity for a massive, like FDR type event,

0:01:25.353 --> 0:01:30.183
<v S1>which hopefully the next president gets on this because yeah,

0:01:30.213 --> 0:01:33.693
<v S1>I do not like the idea of China having all

0:01:33.693 --> 0:01:37.173
<v S1>this extra energy to do whatever with and us not

0:01:37.173 --> 0:01:37.953
<v S1>having it.
