It's all about vision and leadership. China is now working on a global power grid first thought up by Japanese tycoon, Masayoshi Son. The Global Energy Interconnection Development and Cooperation proposal (GEIDCO) is that national power grids will be linked by ultra high voltage lines. Wind farms at the North Pole and solar farms at the equator will generate power that will be sent worldwide. It will cost around 50 trillion dollars and be finished by 2050.

If Donald Trump wants to pull out of the Paris Accord, then so be it. Then let America not benefit from GEIDCO or any environmental initiative.
