it seems us is fighting yesterday's war

wars / empires etc are built on mastering an energy source

the Brits on Coal

the US rose on Oil

China is rising on renewables

my worry is can renewables be quickly brought online to power industry / power hungry Data Centers etc at a reasonable cost

China did most of its rising on fossil fuels. I think they are fairly pragmatic as to what to use.

I mean, clearly the answer is yes. The problem is political, not economic.

Everyone's rising on renewables. Renewable energy is just a victim of a heavily polarizing political atmosphere.
