I'm disappointed with both parties in regards to Solar, especially considering the sheer importance for the future.
The problem I had with the Biden subsidies (as far as I'm aware) was that it didn't really foster hyper competition in the solar manufacturing industry.
Furthermore, the best solution here is to create giant solar farms in the American SouthWest, then funnel energy across the country, is it not? Energy loss is minor, even along thousands of KM in distance.
My dream here is Trump comes out with some new subsidies, focusing on manufacturing, which would drive the price down substantially and hopefully negate the need for consumer subsidies.
We need the new tech-right guys in his admin to speak up on this!
- normalaccess 1y agoDon't worry about Solar or wind... Fusion might be right around the corner. Microsoft backed Fusion (Yes FUSION) power plant. https://kpq.com/helion-fusion-plant-chelan-pud/ https://kpq.com/helion-fusion-plant-chelan-pud/

- normalaccess 1y agoMore like 3, quote from Helion about the ne plant being built right now. "The company said, with site work now underway, Helion remains on track to meet the goal of doing so by 2028." Also, wind and solar are not the end, only a stop gap.

Locally manufactured panels will never be substantially cheaper than imported panels + tariffs. It does not make sense economically to be substantially cheaper.
