We should just be buying solar panels as cheap as we can, as fast we can who gives a fuck if they "dominate" the net positive is worth it

America can't compete with China and American corps cried for daddy.

Oh we could but then the executive class would have to forgo their 8th Yacht.

These go right against our goals to increase use of solar and EVs. ☹️

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Really important for world emissions for the US specifically to transition to EVs too, considering it has the highest per capita road emissions in the world.

If hes going to do that he should light a fire under the domestics asses to get our own evs up to snuff. And market competitive. None of that whining how it cannot be done either

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yup if he's serious then the next move is to turn the Big 3 into the Big 6.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Why would the main benefactors and purchasers of this policy position (the Big 3) greenlight their destruction? This is US capitalist policy at play. They can't compete internationally and had to purchase their domestic protection.

Yes. Also, I'd rgue the solar panels are the bigger issue since EVs are a marginal improvement for the climate vs clean energy and biking/walking.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago (2 children)

That's not how you ensure America leads the world in them. That's how you ensure corps feel safe not doing shit to innovate anymore. This is just another form of a bailout.

The rest of the world will get cheaper solar panels and EVs, that's quite nice.

We can’t let stopping climate change get in the way of capitalism!

Steel I get. That's an environmental issue since US creation is way more carbon friendly. However the rest makes no sense without an announcement in domestic investment that is pulled from currently used non-environmental budgets.

Wait we gave the Auto industry money for EVs and 50k SUVs were the result? Holy shit, that's right up there with giving 4 billion to the telecoms for no actual network expansion.

Interesting word choice. China wants to "dominate", the US wants to "lead".

This is what we needed to encourage the fascist Biden vote!

It will do wonders!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Wow, does that mean we are ramping up domestic production for these? No? Oh...

This is the top response on Twitter now.

I'm surprised they haven't deleted it, but I guess that would be even more embarrassing since it's already archived.
