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.

I'd say its worthwhile if space is a consideration, and better than hydro which is habbitat destroying and more consistently disasterous than nuclear. Before that we have tidal and offshore wind and municiple solar to get through... but after that I'd rather put up nuclear and geothermal than turn large swathes of wilderness into solar or wind farms.
