Mr. Zhao below is working hard to defend fossil fuels by attacking any alternatives. Yes, Norway has grown wealthy from oil resources — and they’ve saved a huge amount of money (from high royalties) that they’re investing for the future — that is, they’re planning for the transition away from fossil fuels. Mark Jacobson (a Stanford engineer) has developed 0 carbon energy plans for countries around the world that would end coal power plants, build a better grid and ensure that electric vehicles really are 0 emissions. It’s time for a change, and it will come despite Trump and Mr. Zhao (though Trump will certainly leave the US far behind where it should be, as he’s done over and again with his businesses and bankruptcies).
