Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

This isn't a quick one and done small project. This is a massive industry that needs to go for decades and likey centuries. You want to develop your own industry because that will be cheaper long term. And so that, you know, multiple countries can crank out shitloads of panels.
Sounds like it would have been a great plan 30 years ago...
But we don't really have time to wait...
We can build up our own (actually our own, not a foreign company's) while still installing the already available panels.
Like, money is great and all, but the planet is kind of fucking dying and America is experiencing record breaking fossil fuel production right now to prop up the economy.
Which is likely factoring into Biden again stalling on climate action.
But again, it works really well on people who only read headlines. Those people think Biden is getting a lot done.
Sounds like, wait for it, you need record breaking massive investments!! But when they happen you complain. Like really. And you call it stalling. It's unbelievable. And no it doesn't take 30 years to build up the industry lol. The mental gymnastics you people have to say Biden bad is unreal. And then you attack anyone that says otherwise as uniformed and only reads headlines. *Oh someone else pointed out your username. Ciao.
...
No one is saying we don't.
But giving a foreign company billions to build an assembly plant here doesn't help as much as making our own.
We're still dependent on parts shipped here, and it's still a company from a foreign country.
No one said it did.
But there's not enough time to wait for this to come online and billions of dollars. We could be importing Chinese solar and EVs today, right now.
While we build up domestic production
I legitimately don't see how this is confusing. If it was republicans doing it, everyone would agree it's not the best path.
Like, imagine your starving and a guy has a ham sandwich. But he says he grills a very nice steak, so you agree to the steak and the sandwich is thrown away. Then you find there's all these delays on the steak, like the cow is even still alive and just munching on grass.
Why wouldn't you eat the ham sandwich while the steak gets ready if you're in danger of starving? You can still have the steak later.
Isn't that supposed to be the moderate's whole thing anyways?
But since Biden is doing it, we have to pretend he's FDR and this solves everything.
The production of the panels is in Georgia...
Yeah, that's true if you're willingly digging your head in the sand. But go ahead and keep complaining about how he's done nothing since he's been in office.
