You can't compare the situation in China/India and the Europe.

And you certainly can't compare the US and germany. They have the cleanest, most eco-friendly culture I have seen Europe, or the US.

They recycle everything. They have very strict laws on cars. Dropping anything on the floor is regarded as completely uncivil.

No matter if they don't succeed perfectly in their energy transition right now, they are trying hard, and seem to will to continue until they do it.

Hard problem do not get solve easily.

On the other hand, the US backed down on most political commitment to the planet.
