Is China now the dominant superpower?

Over (human) population and domesticated animal proliferation is what's going to kill us.
The amount of sunshine that hits the earth is our total energy allowance and it's not enough.
We have been making up the shortfall by drawing on the stored ancient energy of fossils-plant and animal.
This is running out and in the meantime its by-product Co2 is killing the planet.
Chomsky has called the Republican Party of America "the most dangerous organisation on the planet" because of it's denial of the impending catastrophe and it's policies that are in fact bringing the end nearer.
It's a big surprise to all that China is doing a lot to save us now whereas "the most dangrouse organisation on earth" in this regard controls the totality of power in America and thus can destroy everything with impunity.

On the contrary, the energy from the sun that reaches earth is more than enough, but we have no viable way to collect and store it.

I'm thinking of phoning my good friend Elon Musk and suggesting he invent a battery that can store energy from solar panels. It just might be a goer

It's more than enough for the majority of people even at the massive population levels we have right now but it's not enough to power the energy demands of the industrialised world.
Nuclear power is the most efficient alternative but it comes with the obvious risks.
Harvesting solar/tidal/wind energy is reaching it's limits and now all we're doing is tweaking existing technology.
There may be a revolutionary solution in the offing but it's a long way off.
