Probably the easiest way would have been to draw a line around each factory in the US, declare that those now counted as outside-US for emissions purposes, and then declare that now the US was a zero-emissions country.

Done and dusted, problem solved.

Take it up with China. They are building tons of coal plants as we speak, and also eating our lunch in trade.

Edit: I got a "posting too fast" nonsense message. So here is my response to "solar is cheaper than coal, they are fools":

China has a TON of solar panels and batteries. They make most of them. So they apparently think coal is worth it anyway. If coal was more expensive or worse overall, theu would be absolute suckers to ship their product to us.

If they are still building a ton of coal they’re making a colossally foolish mistake.

Solar is already far cheaper than coal for new installations, and the price is still falling.
