A square photographic artistic meme "If He Only Had A Brain" © 2026 by Steve Sack, Pulitzer Prize Winner for Editorial Cartooning, depicting the following: The scene is an open field with part of a forest in the far background and a blue sky overhead. Running down the middle of the field is "The Yellow Brick Road". Two travelers were walking along following The Yellow Brick Road but now there is only one on it because one traveler has just split off from the other traveler and has gone off down a dirt path. The figure still on The Yellow Brick Road is following a sign that is labeled "THE FUTURE". This caricature is a gleaming new robot labeled "CHINA" in red on its chest. This robot is carrying a wind turbine in its right hand and a solar power collector is under its left arm The figure that has broken off and gone down a dirt path is a robot caricature of "The Tin Man" from the movie "The Wizard of Oz". The Tin Man has an American flag on its chest and is carrying a leaky barrel of oil labeled "FOSSIL FUELS" under its right arm and a bucket of coal in its left hand. The (frowning) Tin Man is following a sign that is labeled "THE PAST" while looking over its shoulder at the gleaming robot still on The Yellow Brick Road. From the author Steve Sack: "While the U.S. keeps doubling down on oil—drill, pump, repeat—China is busy cornering the future with solar, batteries, and renewables. One country is investing in yesterday’s fuel; the other is building tomorrow’s infrastructure. We’re arguing about gas prices while they’re scaling the systems that may eventually make them irrelevant. Not exactly a long-term winning strategy."
