Texas-based Janta Power --- as low as $0.05/kWh compared to a global average of about $0.15/kWh. The solar revolution has definitely arrived when even oil soaked Texas is on board. At this rate, it will only takes a few decades for the USA to catch China. https://electrek.co/2025/09/02/h1-2025-china-installs-more-solar-than-rest-of-the-world-combined/ https://electrek.co/2025/09/02/h1-2025-china-installs-more-s...

      Troubleshooting robots, developing super intelligence, working to further economic hegemony over western countries. I wonder what the people in the USA will be doing then? Still waiting for tariff payments from China?

        Of course not. There will always be service jobs. But they will likely have lots of people on some form of Universal Basic Income --- which they will pay for using money sucked out of western economies. Where will the USA get this kind of money from?
