    The situation in China's solar panel sector may be worse, where overproduction pushed prices down 42% last year to levels 60% below the cost of comparable U.S.-made products. China now accounts for 80% of global production capacity, and major solar producers are continuing to build factories, backed by provincial and local subsidies.

    how is this a bad thing?!!!!!!!!

    OH MY FUCKING GOD

      Lmao I was writing papers in college about how whatever country did this was gonna have a modern day industrial revolution and control geopolitics in the next decade.

      At the time I was still a starry eyed lib so I thought the us should do it, glad to see a more moral country was smart enough to see this coming.

        You joke, but you gotta wonder if the Pentagon doesn't have "Operation World Domination" in a C: drive and the first step is to destroy the climate until you can export corn slurry at a gagillion dollars.
