I don't know how they get this thinking going. We are definitely building more green tech than EU.

Lol I saw some speech by their dumb frog foid about some centralized reforms they're making to catch up to the US a few months back and she just started going on about how the only advantage America has over Europe is everyone speaks the same language and then announced even stricter tech regulations. Just fricking lol their entire shitty continent is doomed
