No, it protects fossil fuel energy companies from having to retool and change.

China of course. But they are not hobbled by energy ideologies. China is pragmatic and still increasing coal and nuclear power depending on what works.

Honestly, it's not even doing that. Thing that would really push the US ahead would be the tax breaks we had until a couple years ago.
Not only does Chinese competition get blocked, but governments are incentivizing green energy. For instance, just recently it was reported that Tesla’s $10B solar factory could get 35 years of tax breaks in Texas (Oil Capital!!!)
