Trade War Looming as China Rebukes U.S. Support for Solar

1. The issue with renewables is, to my mind, akin to

when computers were first coming on line. At first computers were huge -- impractically so -- and prohibitively expensive. But as they entered the mainstream economy of scale took over. Now computers can be had with greater value at equal or lesser value making them accessible.

A trade war at the point when renewables are about to go mainstream would be crippling. To drive up the cost would be to keep them out of the reach of the ordinary household. Without that economy of scale investments could be exhausted setting them back by decades.

This is horrible.
