Does anyone else find it hypocritical that the US solar industry
is upset with China, because China might be averting market forces and selling
solar products below cost?
Market forces that
the US solar industry is happy to avert by using mandates and subsidies to
stimulate sales of uneconomic products they just happen to
manufacture? They lobby congress to pass laws forcing the taxpayers to subsidize their products and thereby transfer wealth from the pockets of the citizens
to the accounts of the solar corporations. Now they are upset China is
undercutting them in price?
I call that just
deserts. After lobbying for a decade to plunder the public coffers
they are now dropping like flies (bankruptcies) because China also
sees the huge artificial market and wants to play. So maybe they are
'cheating." The taxpayers are now actually benefiting from
lower cost, if not "below cost" on the solar panels they
are being forced to purchase thanks to the lobbying efforts
of the solar industry.
