Except for that all through Trump's presidency we were bringing that industry back to US shores, and increasing domestic production. If those numbers were simply a fluke of moving production offshore then the trend should not have continued to increase as we brought production back.

Incidentally, fossil fuels are, on the whole, cleaner than most green energies. While solar is fine once you have the panels, the process for getting the materials for those panels, constructing them, etc. is way more damaging than burning coal. The only forms of green energy that are actually energy-positive are nuclear, geothermal, and hydroelectric.

Hydroelectric is great once you have the lake and the damn, but there's definitely an environmental cost to getting it set up. Still, it's one of the most reliable forms of "green" energy production.

Geothermal is also really good, but it's unfortunately prohibitively expensive in most areas, as you have to dig too deep to make it reasonable for the average consumer.

Nuclear is by far the best, but it's been stigmatized due to a couple of admittedly disastrous failures. Still, modern designs are great, and using a different element could pretty much completely remove the potential for cascading failure and meltdown.

The US has done a ton to curb emissions, far beyond simply exporting our production.
