Well, this is the result of more than 2 decades of the West shooting themselves in the foot repeatedly and willingly in the name of some twisted extreme left ideology that convinced part of the population that if they didn’t drastically reduce their energy independence the planet would be destroyed. All, while that same people didn’t bat an eye while China and others took the advantage to surpass us without hindering their industry the slightest - in fact, by taking advantage of our madness so that they could sell us crappy replacements for the products we used to build at home in a much cleaner and sustainable way.

Trump has a lot - a real lot - of negatives. But playing these idiotic games is not one of his shortcomings. No seriously, it should all make us sick to our stomach having politicians, putting forward those big announcements where they tell us they are going to forbid some type of car, imposing even heavier regulations on our industry, taxing us even more, or destroying even more of our energy production capacity, and do it with some smile in their lips claiming some “environmental target”, like they are doing us some favour by destroying our - actually - progressive societies to make space for some backwards autocratic regimen.
