Thats clearly not working fast enough.
Are you serious? People are installing solar as fast as they are able to produce chips.
20 years ago, it took more energy to produce a chip than the chip would produce in its expected lifespan.
Mass installation of solar panels at that time would not have made any sense.
Solar chip production produces some really nasty toxins. Most of the production is in third world countries where we don't see the impact.
Around 2010, we hit the sweet point where the electricity produced by a solar panel exceeded the cost of producing the panel. The graph below shows solar panel installations began to skyrocket.
It slowed during the pandemic.
We are actually entering a weird phase where cities produce more solar energy when the sun is shining than people consume in the market.
The solar industry is growing gangbusters on its own. We really don't need artificial stimulus from the government.
