Electric cars are only “clean” transportation if you make the electricity with clean energy. Fortunately, China is threatening to become the world’s leader in solar and wind power, as they rapidly move away from coal. Meanwhile, Trump is pushing more coal and oil here in the US, with tariffs on cheap foreign solar imports. Yup… we’re going the opposite way. *SadFace*<\/p>\n
