I blame Trump for not thinking of the future, unlike China.

China’s Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of Air Pollution issued by China’s State Council in September 2013, illustrates the government's desire to increase the share of renewables in China’s energy mix.

China is the world's leading country in electricity production from renewable energy sources, with over double the generation of the second-ranking country, the United States.

By the end of 2018, the country had a total capacity of 728 GW of renewable power, mainly from hydroelectric and wind power. That's close to 25% of it's needs. China's renewable energy sector is growing faster than its fossil fuels and nuclear power capacity.

In contrast, Trump wants to bring back coal.
