Who is the preeminent manufacturer of solar PV and electric vehicles in the world?

How is our charging infrastructure compared to say Europe's?

Considering we've had the technology for almost 30 years now, why isn't practically every consumer vehicle a phev?

I'm not going to believe any projected carbon emissions. I'm going to believe real carbon emissions that get measured. Hey, guess what? They are still going up.

I get that they were solar subsidies, but it's my strong opinion that there should have been unrefusable subsidies for home solar. I get so sick of the utility people complaining about how hard it's going to be to adapt the grid to alternative energy. Yet in the same time they bad mouth home solar which basically alleviates grid load.

There still is no effective policy implementations on reducing sprawl, except that which simply resists building housing in general.

And while I generally think nuclear energy isn't really an effective solution for clean energy, it should still be aggressively researched, although I think they should be chasing lftrs like China is.

You can say a lot of these are simply politically infeasible. That speaks more to the nature of the Democrats being a corporatist party than anything. a lot of these policies, especially ones around alternative energy and transport electrification which would functionally drop the price of energy and transportation, a key driver to economic growth in the long term, should have been a strong sell overall to the business lobby in general.

I'm not going to disagree that the only place that you're going to get some environmental progress is the Democratic party.

My point is that progress is mostly for show.
