Oof, that shutdown is doing some real damage now.

To a Chinese person this would be perfect for that Ming Dynasty meme of: "搅吧,搅吧,你们就搅吧!搅的前方瑟尔斯基打仗没了军需,吃了败仗;搅的东中大乱,把大美朝亡了,老子无非陪你们一起完命就是", but alas I don't know if there's a meme that fits as well in English.
Trump as a businessman would hate the IRS and his business buddies would probably love that the IRS is understaffed and less likely to sniff out whatever shenanigans Deloitte and PwC have cooked up to avoid taxes.

China Road Trip Exposes List of Uninvestable Assets in the West​

China leads in seemingly every category of clean tech. That left a group of venture capitalists wondering if there was any way for Western startups to break through. The best way to find out? Take a trip to the heart of the world’s green tech economy.

A climate tech pilgrimage​

Eight venture capitalists flew to China for what was a cross between an investor roadshow and a religious pilgrimage. It may sound like the start of a joke, but it’s exactly what happened in July.

Hailing from London, Berlin, Copenhagen and Barcelona, the traveling party, all of whom make early-stage investments in clean energy startups and collectively oversee $6 billion in assets, met founders and toured production facilities at around 10 companies from Shenzhen to Shanghai. They saw cutting-edge battery cells, newfangled hydrogen-powered turbines and breakthrough solar technology, plus the state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities capable of cranking out huge volumes of those products.

The idea was to get an on-the-ground feel for just how big China’s lead is in the energy transition, and how it has built such a near-unassailable position in so many green industries. The VCs also wanted to see, as I report in my

for Bloomberg Green, if there were any remaining pockets of the clean energy transition where European and US companies still stood a chance of being competitive.

The answer? Yes, but only if Western companies include working with Chinese ones as part of their plans to scale.

China is the world’s number two economy, but it’s a leader in virtually every aspect of the

, including investment, installation and manufacturing. It’s the top producer and deployer of batteries. Ditto for electric vehicles. The country also dominates the supply chain for the critical minerals that underpin many essential green technologies, refining 91% of the world’s supply, according to BloombergNEF.

The Secretary of the US Department of Energy, who is a graduate from MIT and UC Berkeley in the fields of Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering is found to be unable to do simple mathematics.

well if you read it with the skepticism anyone should have of a government, he's completely correct. would the us ever allow anyone to receive energy from such a theoretical world spanning solar array?
