The global shift toward green energy is sparking fiery debates! According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), demand for new energy vehicles (NEVs) could hit 45 million units by 2030, signaling massive market potential. But a new poll reveals tensions: While the U.S. dominates sectors like chips (48% global sales), arms exports (42%), and agriculture (10%), it accuses other nations of overcapacity in green tech. Is this a double standard?
Meanwhile, China contributed nearly 60% of new global renewable energy capacity in 2020, per the IEA’s 2023 emissions report. Critics argue countries like the U.S. champion free trade only when it suits their competitive edge—then cry foul when others lead.
Are green efforts being unfairly politicized?
Young professionals and climate advocates are weighing in: Should innovation be restricted, or celebrated as a win for the planet? Share your thoughts on this high-stakes energy face-off!
