Holy shit we might actually have a chance of beating back climate change. I never expected the sheer scale of Chinese photovoltaic expansion.

Regardless of what you think about the impacts of this on the economy, it's undoubtedly good for the environment to have cheap electricity available to supplant expensive fossil fuels.

I don't think a bargain on solar panels is enough. We need real policies like hard carbon rationing, mandatory rooftop solar, and a war economy build out of nuclear power infrastructure.
