China’s near-monopoly on the solar-energy market
I’m out. There’s no such fucking thing. Dog whistles everywhere.
But… They do? It’s not the energy. It’s the production and materials used for making solar that China has a near-monopoly on.
Buffalo (Buffalo Billion) funded a deal with the Solar City to make panels & they outfit couldn’t make a customer appealing panel color or compete with the quickly dropping price of Chinese imports. Even after Telsa took over his cousins operation they had the same trouble when even trying to adapt it to roof tiles so to satisfy the obligation for employment numbers they just had workers improve their Mapping systems.

Perovskites are the solar tech of the future, and they always will be.

So they’ll never be in the present?

Until one day. Maybe they will exist. Until then. Next big thing. Next big thing Next.big.thing

Except for the part where they need to be encapsulated in a fully air tight glass container, since they degrade relatively quickly when exposed to regular air.

I think the point of his post was “and they ALWAYS will be”

Per the article:
Not nearly as good as silicon, but perhaps good enough for a lot of applications

Maybe we could use abnormal air like farts for example?
