- clort 9y agoFrom the point of view of the australian government, does it matter?

- tim333 9y agoWind + batteries came out cheaper than solar + batteries so I guess the chinese subsidies were not that critical.
- ZeroGravitas 9y agoAlthough the site is Australian, the cost info is from Colorado, the US already has anti-dumping levies on Chinese solar which will be reflect in bids so yes it does take solar subsidies into account. It doesn't however account for government subsidies of coal.
- virmundi 9y agoI thought the US just added anti-dumping levies. If so, the price wouldn't reflect that change yet. As to the coal, fair point.
