Yeah, we can do hard stuff, too, and maybe we should start doing the hard stuff here.
We spent decades having to deal with other countries and our oil policies, and it's been a nightmare of wars, embargoes, etc. Now that we can go down a completely different energy path, why shouldn't we keep it inhouse? We need to work with other nations, but we don't have to voluntarily line up to be totally economically enslaved to another country for the NEXT wave of energy.
And this is what every other country should be saying about America. Espically tech we are enslaved to Americans cause let's be honest there is no multinational companies. They are American companies spread over the world and have to do what America asks even If in another country.
As an American I hate to say it but there's merit to what you're saying.
If I was outside the US, I'd be looking at the US as an unreliable partner, given how rapidly the message is changing with things like wars and tariffs. I'd conclude that the US does not have a consistent policy (let alone an intelligent one) and therefore it's in my best interest to ensure my success doesn't rely on the US anymore.
it's really too bad :(
I'm sincerely wishing you good luck. More solar more better.
I've been a solar advocate for decades. You got the sun giving off free energy all the time, and all those roofs and parking lots that could be covered with panels to capture that free energy, what's the problem?
Oh, yeah, the Free part. American Capitalism doesn't like the sound of FREE.
