    US support for solar has collapsed

    Is that support amongst average Americans, or is it just the fossil fuel lobby claiming to speak for everyone?

      Given that the US put tariffs on Chinese panels and nobody else makes them in any serious volumes, what the public wants doesn’t really matter.

      And does this deal with the loss of biodiversity that has already occurred, mimicking past mass extinction events?

      … sounds like china-white copium to me.

    I would like to understand what this really means for our planet. More solareans less resilience for power grids? Overall less CO2 when considering the whole cost of life cycle? What about incident light/energy with all these panels? Where is the scuence?
