The US would lose its superpower status before that happens, the awakening won’t be so drastic because we would have already started sliding into being a much poorer country than we are today. It’s already started at any rate.
I should say, a surprise for anyone who is completely unaware of the developments around the world, which a lot of people in the US are.
I don't this requires the loss of "superpower" status really. Already, if you dropped all EV, solar, battery tariffs in Florida, I think people there would be blindsided by how fast things start to take over.
I guess, but I doubt it would even happen before American unambiguously lost its #1 status. They simply won't allow those products into the states until they acknowledge that they actually need them.
At least the rest of the world is going to get richer in the meantime.
As in, the rest of the world transitions with economical EV's, panels, and batteries from China while the US protects its auto market.
The rude awakening is when US customers used to buying $60k gas guzzlers are able to buy a $20k EV.

A surprising and unpleasant discovery that one is mistaken.
