Comment on How the US Lost the Solar Power Race to China

I didn’t even know we were racing. What are the results, are we, like, not allowed to do solar power now? What does China get for winning, a free car or something?
Seriously, we does everything have to be framed as some kind of zero-sum international “race”?

Not being in a race is a sure way to neither win or lose and just kind of do your own thing. With sunshine, this is exceedingly easy.

Sunshine yes, manufacturing less so.

It means that the economic benefits of being the world’s low-cost producer go to people in China instead of the US.

They’re not stealing the sunshine from us, it hits them over there. We can still make more solar panels, we haven’t lost anything irretrievably.

No, bit the point is that china is making the for themselves and everyone else.
