And a testament to the value of the dollar in LA today... Diesel determines the transportation charge for every single product sold in the world, because how else do products make it into your hands? 
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Apparently gold continues to be the #1 U.S. export this year, with most of it going to China. The Chinese are using the same playbook that we used on them to collapse their economy during the Opium Wars.
The U.S. and Europe were the leading industrial powers in the World in the 1800s. Seems like China is the dominant industrial power in the World today and is challenging our advantage in high tech. If you look at our leading AI tech engineers, they are mostly Chinese. If China comes to dominate industrial and high tech production, can we hold on to our wealth?

This is not widely reported here yet but is reported as of this week.
Global AI Token Market Share:
Chinese AI models process over 100 trillion tokens per day, frequently peaking around 140 to 180 trillion. Chinese-origin models now capture up to 46.4% of routed global enterprise tokens, surpassing US models.
Top US AI models process roughly 50 to 55 trillion tokens daily.US-origin models account for about 35.7% of global enterprise token usage, led heavily by providers like Anthropic.

AI data centers that the U.S. is investing $800 billion in this year, the largest infrastructure build out in the history of the world, work on electricity. No electricity, no AI. As you can see, China produces more electricity than the next 4 nations combined including the U.S.
Leading Electricity Producers
China: Produces roughly 10,579 terawatt-hours (TWh) annually, making it the largest producer by a wide margin with heavy reliance on coal and growing solar and wind capacity.
United States: Generates about 4,519 TWh per year, powered largely by natural gas, nuclear energy, and diverse renewables.
India: Outputs around 2,081 TWh annually, utilizing primarily coal alongside rapid expansions in solar and wind power.
Russia: Creates approximately 1,192 TWh per year, heavily reliant on natural gas and hydropower.
Japan: Generates about 1,029 TWh annually, supported by a mix of natural gas, coal, and nuclear power.

The Fedaral Reserve also publishes the cost of electricity at large electricity producing nations.
The average residential electricity prices in the top producing countries include:
China (Produces \(\sim 10,000\) TWh annually): \(\sim \$0.08\) per kWh
United States (Produces \(\sim 4,500\) TWh annually): \(\sim \$0.16 - \$0.20\) per kWh, heavily dependent on the state
India (Produces \(\sim 2,100\) TWh annually): \(\sim \$0.09 - \$0.11\) per kWh
Russia (Produces \(\sim 1,250\) TWh annually): \(\sim \$0.08\) per kWh
Canada (Produces \(\sim 650\) TWh annually): Varies significantly by province, averaging \(\sim \$0.11 - \$0.15\) per kWh (USD)
