Not just clean energy. America's scientific advantage has always been underpinned by our ability to recruit exceptional foreign scientists. Now we're rounding them up and deporting them. And broadly cutting funding to the remaining scientists while half the country actively demonizing them. China is jumping all over the opportunity and recruiting every scientist they can. They aren't the only one but they are America's most significant single country rival and, currently, the best candidate to be able to build a new global hegemony as America destroys its own. As an American my current hope for the next world order is the rise of a strong unified Europe. Even then we're probably going to end up with a bipolar world order like with the US and USSR post WW2.
