    Good. I assume it helps that most of the world’s solar panel manufacturing is based in China.

    The rest of the world should be ramping up production, not relying on China for cheap labour.

      I keep seeing more and more about the solar production in Georgia, USA ramping up!

      It great to see the world really going into green industrialzation.

        Cool part is we’ve got a functional safety system like OSHA so everyone goes home with all their fingers and toes, and the EPA keeps the nearby creeks from getting contaminated.

        Can’t say the same for other countries, troubled and fucked up as our country is.

            You know how when you’re the first to do something, you’re also the first to make mistakes? Look at the Hanford site, for example. First place to ever process uranium and plutonium.

            Imagine knowing the results of being careless, and being careless anyway, after the fact. 😂 What’s wrong with you??

            To be clear: I believe most people anywhere want to be safe, and do a good job. Their administrators and governmental reps are the pieces of dogshit, ccp included, that ignore safety and individuality. The US has serious problems too, but again, we have safety organizations with teeth here.

      its obviously good for the rest of the world to industrialize, but they would just be moving carbon emissions from china to themselves.

      they themselves would need to transition to renewables if we want this move to be good for the climate.

        That would be the point of making panels and wind turbines themselves.

        Ideally you’d want enough manufacturing capacity to power your whole country with renewables, in the time it takes for the first bits to start needing replacements.

            The irony of your propaganda account posting about propaganda is full flavored.
