Should have worried about that three decades ago…

And continues to put all its effort on increasing that gap…in the wrong direction.

Cancelled CHIPs act funding
Gutted university level research Cancelled green energy installations (at a time when more power than ever is needed for stupid datacenter builds)
And paying premiums for dirtier, less efficient power stations to stick around

There was a time, quite recently, that this was a punchline in The Office.
