Edward Norton rejects "American exceptionalism" and praises China as more eco-friendly than the West: NORTON: China is on its way to being the first, petro-zero economy. They are going to be the first electro-superpower. TED DANSON: Which we could have been. And now we're gonna have to buy it from them when [Trump] goes away and we come to our senses. We won't have that industry like China does. NORTON: No. And by the way, it's both sides of the aisle. In the state of California, we have now the most regressive policy toward residential solar, distributed solar collection and storage... even under Gavin Newsom. ... We have this enduring narrative of American exceptionalism, like of America's "alpha," of America's cultural superiority. And the question is, and I don't think people fully grasp the degree to which we're going to ghettoize ourselves as an energy state, in terms of education, in terms of health. We're not anywhere near the top, of what other people are experiencing. And if we embrace this idea of pride in regression, you where is that where is that going to take us? It's not going to take us into a place that we're happy about for our kids.
