@1dalm @mekkaokereke The US and Germany currently produce a total of 1.1% solar silicon, less than Vietnam. China's “overproduction” (which is still not enough) is exported, as well.
Under Biden, fossil fuel extraction by the US increased quite a lot. That stuff ends up in the air. Yes, Biden also does something. But nowhere near a net positive effect.
As said, the US should outspend China. Increase the taxes on whatever burns fossil stuff. Increase more. Spent that on renewables.
