    Worst thing is those in power in the US think they’re actually winning , and the rest of the world (and actually most of the US) is just wrong!

      I don’t think they think of it as winning. I don’t think they care.

      All they know is that several states have economies dependent on fossil fuel extraction with no other meaningful economic replacement.

      Some of them are winning. At this point the game us shifting to an internal fight between domestic oligarchs for power and therefore profit.
