- Gibbon1 6y agoI read an article that I can't vouch for mush less dredge up from the murky depths of the internet. But it went like this. Chinese government circa 2000. So how much would it cost to prove solar technology at scale? Chinese industry.. umm.. err... $10 billion. Chinese government. LOL! Is that all? Haha here's $10 billion. Chinese industry circa 2005. Um... we spent $10 billion and have proven will scale. Chinese government, so how much to scale? Industry $100 billion. Chinese government. LOL is that all? Here have $100 Billion. Meanwhile people in the US are still butthurt about losing $500 million on Solyndra.
