  What goalpost did I move? You said they’d be built with slave labor which means they’ll still be cheaper, right? And in the meantime we decarbonize huge segments of the global economy.

  Don’t be mad just cause western countries wanted to take advantage of slave labor as usual and are getting bitten in the ass because of their greed, or that West Taiwan is doing it better.

        “Saving the climate” is not the only “side effect”. Another one is destroying the global economy and further diminishing the wages of workers in the US and around the world. But hey, maybe you like being poor.
