The USA should be making China-level investments in solar. They should be building their own companies and more tax dollars should go to solar than weapons.

What are modern wars fought over? Energy.

More investment, for sure. That's why I was so surprised with the green new deal, I had no suspicions that the US was actually going to start investing in its infrastructure and energy again.

I don't know what you mean by modern wars are fought over energy?

The Russian-Ukraine war is about pride, territory and farmland, the genocides going on right now around the world are about race/pride, a lot of conflicts in sub-Saharan African countries about who gets to be the leader, which wars are you referring to specifically with regard to energy and what type of energy are you talking about?

I think they are referring to Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait, etc. the past few wars the U.S. has been in have largely been fought over oil.

I guess. They did say all modern wars, and those are a few wars that aren't very modern, so I was wondering if there was some other situation they were referring to.

I swear someone said something very like that in amovie I saw recently, but I cannot remember what the movie was.
