Adder: Apparently Doug Burgum has never heard of a battery or a capacitor. Says to congress solar power not available when the sun goes down. LOL

China is mostly passing the USA in carbon-based emission.

They are 32% of global emissions, and rising sharply.

USA is 12%, and has fallen 23% since 2000.
