It seems America and the rest of the world may look very different in the 2030s.
The rest of the world living in the future with EVs and cheap renewable energy. America in some strange steampunk version of the future, where energy is expensive, everyone still drives huge gasoline cars, and power stations still belch smoke from coal.
Cheap Chinese EVs that cost <$20k and run on cheap renewable electricity, frequently from home solar, will likely be rapidly becoming the global norm in the 2030s. I wonder if the fossil fuel industry has home solar in its sights, too? They have all the American politicians in their pockets that they need to ban it in the US.

Sorry, did you just say "I wonder if the fossil fuel industry has home solar in its sights"?
Perhaps you haven't been reading the news, but Trumps "One Bill Beautiful Bill" abuptly ended tax credits for home solar a few weeks ago, between that and his existing tariffs on solar panels, the breakeven period for a home solar setup is now decades.
The residential solar industry is in freefall right now. Thousands of installers are losing or have already lost their jobs.
I guess I take it for granted that this is common knowledge since I work in the industry, but it's unbelievably bad right now.
