China is on track to reach a fully renewable energy system by 2051, nearly a century earlier than the United States, according to a global study covering 150 countries.

But yeah in general US is clearly getting left behind on things that will matter this century. Hopefully it won’t manage to drag the rest of us down with them.

the US is not getting left behind, it's intentionally staying behind because the ruling class believes it'll weaken their grasp; it's disappeared from the political discussion of the last decade or so because of that and very few seem to notice.

I meant it more as a statement of fact, "most of the world is leaving the US behind". You are 100% correct on the "why".

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 hours ago

it seems more like the US is leaving others behind due to the expected future realities of a climate-change-degraded/multi-polar-order world and only the global north has the luxury of "leaving"

a huge majority didn't willing enter an agreement and we're witnessing in venezula, bolivia, chile, colombia, nigera, sudan, nepal, etc. what happens when they try to leave the US behind.
