So make your own green industry to dominate the world’s energy transition. Oh wait, no, that’s too woke.

Mr. Podesta has sharply criticized China for having “distorted the global market for clean energy products like solar, batteries and critical minerals.” Not only that, he has set up a task force to explore how to limit imports from countries that have high carbon footprints, a practice that he called “carbon dumping.” That was considered a veiled reference to China. It remains unclear whether the Biden administration would impose a fee on products imported from high-emissions countries.

There is already a 25% special tariff on all Chinese goods >$800.

I have zero expectation we’re gonna get cheap solar, batteries, or EVs from China. We wouldn’t be here in the first place if the politicians didn’t prioritize profit for their benefactors over a habitable planet.

Accusing China of “overproduction” is just calling for production to decrease so price goes up, at the expense of you know, actually decreasing CO2 emissions.

Way ahead is right. Not only that, they have better energy savings there, an example of which is all hotels being required to tie electricity to a system that shuts off when not occupied. Typically this is done by making you insert your room key into a slot by the door to activate power.

I think people would be a lot more accepting of China if they spoke English

Nothing like some competition to get the Yanks moving.
