    ?? China is expected to install more renewable capacity in the next 5 years than the rest of the world combined.

    As to pickup trucks, data indicates that most truck drivers don't use them for doing truck stuff.

    They are mostly status symbols.

    "expected to install" in the next five years doesn't respond to my point which was about the past and present. So I willl assume you oppose status symbols. It is hard to imagine why a truck would be a status symbol but I'll go with it. A Lamborghini is a status symbol.

    I agree with that. They also have a goal and everything they do supports that goal. Meanwhile we argue with each other and investigate each other. Our government and our politics are truly horrible.

    We had n International 1100 . It went tothe lumber yard, the dump, the quarry. It didn’t need chrome running boards, big chrome wheels, vibrating seats, or any of the other “a status symbols” that drive the prices into six figures.
