China Installed More Solar Panels Last Year Than the U.S. Has in Total::China installed more new solar capacity last year than the total amount ever installed in any other country.
Why are we even bothering blaming politicians? Companies moved production over to cut costs and Americans wanted cheap shit. We could have all just bought made in America in the 80s if we cared, that would have been the time to make a stand while the transition was still happening.
It is government’s job to make sure international trade is done according to some basic rules, including labor and environment. Business’ only metric is profits.
The idea that businesses are only responsible to make profits is a newer one (can’t say new it’s been decades) and one that is trending away imho
