Impossible to distinguish between satire and news any longer: The solar industry “warns” that (after important parts of Europe moved to solar and wind) the energy prices are so hight that there might not be much of a future for the industry in Europe:
“Europe's bid to expand its green tech industry faces a host of challenges, including high energy costs and supply chain issues, solar industry representatives gathered in Madrid warned on Thursday.”
"Europe isn't profitable"
But they are producing in China (~500g CO2e), Vietnam (~400g CO2e) and Thailand (500g CO2e). France by comparison has < 100g CO2e.
The production conditions of solar in China are especially relevant:
“But the majority of experts consulted by Environmental Progress agree that China’s competitive advantage did not lie in an innovative new technological process but rather in the very same factors the country has always used to outcompete the West: cheap coal-fired energy, mass government subsidies for strategic industries, and human labor operating in poor working conditions.”
