Ian Bremmer: Is the US Falling Behind in Clean Energy?
The world, especially China, is going all in on renewable energy. Does the US risk being left in the dark? Environmentalist and author Bill McKibben joins Ian Bremmer on GZERO World.
Over the past decade, renewable energy has exploded. Technology is improving. Costs are plummeting. This is now the fastest energy transition in human history. But just as the world goes all in on renewables, the US is doubling down on fossil fuels. Does it risk being left behind in the race to power the future? Environmentalist and author Bill McKibben joins Ian Bremmer on GZERO World to discuss the sudden and overwhelming surge of clean energy installation and generation over the past two years, China’s push to dominate the renewable market, and whether the Trump administration’s policies will put the US at a disadvantage. McKibben’s new book, “Here Comes the Sun,” argues that renewables aren’t just a climate fix—they’re a political and economic opportunity to reshape our future.
