"Data by @ember-energy.org, a non-profit that favors the transition to clean energy, illustrates the scale of this new trade. The US barely shows up. Thanks to round upon round of tariffs & restrictions on Chinese solar products, it barely imported more panels last year than the Dominican Republic"

"Brazil, Chile, Morocco, Nigeria, the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Uzbekistan each bought enough panels to fuel between 3% and 5% of their grids."

Don't worry. Right-wing congressmen are plotting against this abhorrent renewable trend
