    The article mentioned solar tech being first patented in the US, and even as recently as the 70s the government injected cash to push it forward.

    So maybe not “Clean energy leader” per se, but certainly tech leader in the clean energy space.

      A tech leader 55 years ago isnt a tech leader anymore. I donated a dollar to a solar development program, which is a larger percentage of my wealth than the US put forward of its. Am I a tech leader now too?
