    Trumps bullshit is probably increasing adoption everywhere except the US. It makes financial sense to move away from fossil fuels. Making the markets unstable is another signal for why it makes sense.

      The collapse of the petrodollar is going to be ugly for the US. I hope the rest of the world rides it out well enough, and indeed is motivated by the current goings-on to accelerate all of their climate adaptation economic growth.
