The main reason you can’t compete is because energy is so cheap there. And, no, you can’t make renewable infra with just renewable energy.

Dogyote@slrpnk.net 2 days agoSolar isn’t dependent on China IMO, it’s just that China can make them so cheaply that other countries can’t make them for less. Any country could build a solar manufacturing plant if they wanted, but it would be very silly given China’s panels are so cheap.

Australia has one:

They assemble panels in Australia. Their M10 cells come from other sources and they just claim they’re ‘not from Xinjiang’. Likely they come from elsewhere in China (or SE Asia from a Chinese manufacturer).
