Oh No, Clean Energy?

In light of the declining state Earth has been going through due to us homosapiens, clean energy, specifically in China, the second largest populated country on the planet, should be considered a blessing in all regards. Leave it to America to literally be as "dumb as we want to be" as Thomas L. Friedman puts in his book, Hot, Flat, and Crowded. Even though China has been favoring and illegally subsidizing the clean energy business, this is a God-send for the rest of us and the environment. But apparently not to America. Seemingly due to blatant ignorance and purposeful disregard for any current environmental statistics, the Obama administration is considering going after China for its recent 'wrong doing'. Here is what The New York Times had to say:
HONG KONG- A broad trade case filed on Thursday by an American labor union, accusing China of unfairly subsidizing its clean energy industry, pressed a hot-button jobs issue in the United States during a Congressional election season.
But even if the Obama administration agrees to pursue the case, it could prove hard to resolve, as both countries consider their industries crucial to energy security and future economic growth.
Let's keep fingers crossed that China will get away with this foul deed. Would anyone rather they subsidize 'fuels from hell'? We are soon going to run out of nonrenewable resources and China is willing to face these truths to do what is right for our decaying environment. To those losing their jobs in unsustainable industries, this new industry will soon explode with unlimited job opportunities. Understandably this is easier said than done, but so is saving Mother Earth.
