Two years ago we were installing 1/10th of Chinese solar today?

Where are we at today? Can we catch up under this administration?

Where do we compare on a nuclear basis? I know my state installed nuclear reactors recently, but I'm not aware of any other build outs.

In a war game scenario, China is probably more concerned about losing access to oil and natural gas than we are. Not that we shouldn't be building this stuff quickly either.

No. The future is Chinese, if the Chinese can maintain good governance.

A big "if"
