Chinese Solar

[phantom000]

There seems to be a lot of buzz about the Chinese Solar industry right now.

I read this and thought 'my god, one of trump's policies is actually doing what he wants it to...' of course it is a Chinese company instead of an American one, be interesting to hear what the GOP thinks of that.

China creating jobs in the solar industry? Obviously an example of communist corruption, who in their right mind would want to work on a floating solar farm when they can be scratching rocks down in a deep dark coal mine?

While I have some issues with the Chinese government, I gotta say they are making actual progress on this Clean Energy and Environmental thing that we tend to just sit on our hands about. I'm glad at least SOMEBODY is doing it.

They're also one of the biggest polluters, and have been taken to task for a while now over their smog problem, so I wouldn't be surprised if that was the reason for this sudden interest on their part. And as an added bonus, the materials and processes used in producing solar panels are already inherently toxic, so no one can accuse them of loading them with lead or something like that.

Admiral, at least they are DOING something to address the problem they create, unlike a certain other nation with a much smaller population and a very comparable pollution output.
