50% on solar panels? Holy shit that's actually fucking insane, China makes 80% of all panels. They're nuking any hope of a green transition

So much for the Green New Deal...

So much for not rolling coal past the 2.5 degrees Celsius average temperature increase that will cause a mass extinction (of humans not the mass extinction were already in the middle of)

THIS. IS. AN. INVESTMENT. IN. DEMOCRACY.

This is what I've been saying, possibly the worst consequence of the US policy of continuing the cold war is that it's antithetical to cooperation around climate change. Any delay in a renewable energy transition costs untold lives and quality of living standards. How are you supposed to install enough solar panels in time to make a difference, if you're trying to start a war with the country that produces the solar panels? It doesn't make sense unless we admit to the reality that capital will have its agenda fulfilled no matter what's superficially going on in the elections.. unless we do the needful

doomer might as well just leave my car running 24/7 while burning tires for fun at this point. 50% tariff on 80% of the world's solar panels? Are they trying to kill the planet faster???

This dipshit admin is gonna do this, then when they start losing seats+the presidency they'll scream about how the new, conservative admin isn't doing enough for climate change. This will probably be true, but it will be after they themselves did what they could to deep six any way around it as part of ensuring like 300 already obscenely rich clowns keep making as much money as possible

And the end result is still 'we all get screwed by climate change'
