A competition to produce the machinery of decarbonization would be downright amazing

    Like most of my posts to paywalled content, it’s a gift link, so you have full access to it. (When I don’t have a gift link, I try to post a link to an archived copy as well as the main link)

    And yes, a competition to produce the machinery of decarbonization is a good thing.

      Thanks, I see it now; it was user error as I had not enabled JavaScript for that site.

      Thanks for sharing. So the US is not competitive on price and scale when it comes to EVs and solar panels, and therefore the powers that be argue that we need to actively harm US consumers through protectionist measures in order to protect business. How is that even remotely responsible?

      Also, the article is critical of Chinese factories for mass producing solar panels in large quantities all the time instead of laying off employees when demand is low. I mean, this helps deliver a solution to a problem that the US fails to acknowledge. If only the US had that kind of ambition…

        Yeah a better answer is to support scaling up US industry to make its products cheaper
