When I first read the titile, I thought that the US is going to have to build A LOT to triple global production. Then it occured to me that the author means the US is pledging to make deals and agreements which enable other countries to build their own. Sometimes I think the US thinks too much of itself and that's also very much part of American branding.

Where are my renewable bros at? Tell me this is bad.

Every place has a place to store it. It's pretty safe and easy to store and does not need to be significantly contained for that long of a period. It's relatively safe. "Real" green energy also produces a lot of waste and dangerous byproducts that "need to be" (read, should but often not) contained. Do you think solar panels grow on trees? No, the resources need to be mines and refined.
