The energy story is similar. On one hand, the US has become the world’s most powerful petrostate, which is not inherently a problem, considering that fossil fuels will continue to power data centers, agriculture, and heavy industry for decades to come. But the US has effectively ceded leadership on post-carbon energy to China, which already dominates battery technology, solar power, next-generation nuclear, and critical-mineral supply chains. The US is doubling down on the energy of the past at the expense of the energy of the future.

America’s Future Is Being Sacrificed for Short-Term “Wins” Nov 6, 2025 Ian Bremmer Despite a tumultuous year, markets continue to bet on American liquidity and growth. But while the outlook looks promising, the United States is systematically trading strategic advantages for tactical gains, and the costs are accumulating in ways that won’t become apparent until it’s too late.

Graphic with headline: climate dioxide levels rise, global warming continues. The growth in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels from 1975 to 2025 on the x-axis is plotted on a graph that has parts per million (ppm) on the y-axis. The ppm rises from 320 to 424 across the 50 year period. The area underneath the plotted line is filled with climate warming stripes that are light blue for 1975, shifting to a deep red-brown for 2025. Along the curve are dots representing and labelled with some of the world’s significant climate change conferences and agreements: - first world climate conference in 1979 - first IPCC assessment report in 1990 - first UN climate change conference in 1995 - Kyoto protocol entered into force in 2005 - Copenhagen accord in 2009 - Paris agreement adopted in 2015 - COP30 in 2025.

“We are stagnant,” Gwenaelle Avice Huet, executive vice-president of industrial automation at Schneider Electric, told Energy Source. “Industry in Europe has a huge potential for electrification and still it’s not going that fast.” A recent report by Schneider estimates that the EU could save €250bn in energy imports if it reached 50 per cent of electrification in final energy use by 2040 — a target set by the European Commission. This would take a large chunk out of the bloc’s annual fossil fuel import bill of €380bn, Schneider said.
