it is insanity, but not for the lack of navigation; it was about preventing china from gaining economic leverage with affordable electric vehicles and scalable renewable technologies.

It doesn't. If it was really a concern it'd be better to beat them to the technology
yes, it would be better, but we didn't because we lack the industrial capacity to provide both at scale and affordably so. so instead we just doubled down on fossil fuels and carved out legal corporate & governmental protections for harming people that we predict will get fucked over by climate change.
