China Takes Over the Global Clean Energy Race

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, explains how China is outpacing the U.S. in the clean energy sector. With clean tech contributing over 10% of its GDP in 2024, China is using renewables not just to cut emissions, but also to gain a competitive edge economically. In contrast, U.S. policy setbacks — particularly under the Trump administration — are stalling progress in wind and solar, potentially putting America at a long-term disadvantage.
