A political cartoon that shows the Tin Man from Wizard of Oz with the US flag on his chest, dripping with oil and holding a bucket of coal and an oily barrel, taking a path that diverges from the yellow brick road. A sign in front of the Tin Man says 'The Past'. Following the yellow brick road is a futuristic robot holding a wind energy turbine and a solar panel, with the flag of China on his chest. A sign in front of the robot says 'the future'.

Meanwhile china is going all in on coal

A 6 month - 1 year plan doesn't mean much when there's multiple 5-10 year plans set fully in on nuclear and renewables.
