The chart shows a Biden-projected growth of 30GW renewable capacity until 2030.
If these renewables could run at max capacity 24/7 they'd then produce ballpark high estimate 270 TWh.
Looking at the Chinese comparison chart china adds 2000TWh of annual production per 5 year interval.
Now renewables run at 25% capacity factor on a good day, so the renewable growth with bidenomics would've added 65 TWh of growth in a span of time that china adds 2000. If Trump causes a further drawdown of 100 TWh in renewable capacity it will still only be a rounding error.
The US and most of the west is simply not even competing in this arena, the entire leadership is resting on their laurels and the focus is never on actual development but on policy, regulations and ideology.
Edit: I now see it was Paul Krugman as the author of that article which clearly illustrates my point on ideological drive of the western leadership, here we have an economic Nobel Prize winner that present numbers he either don't understand or misuse to take potshots at a leadership he's unhappy with.
