  2. The inflation reduction act passed in mid 2022.

    You can’t credit something from mid 2022 for a change that occurred between 2017 and 2024.

    This is OPs 2nd post in 24hrs (on this thread) on how wonderful the inflation reduction act is.

  7. Soon to be dismantled by the Musk administration

  8. All sustained by massive government subsidies, take away the subsidies and they collapse because they are not viable businesses, they are political money laundering schemes to divert tax payers money to the politically connected.

  9. And Trump is going to kill that success?

    Let’s see…he may realize that would be really REALLY stupid.

  11. This is my first impression of this sub reddit and I’m surprised there aren’t more engineers or people who know what they’re talking about. This is just another politicized subject in an area it doesn’t belong. I used to be an engineer in the solar industry, this article doesn’t talk about any technical advantages that were made, only that we are making more of them. Solar panels are an imperfect technology that fall far short of what the public thinks. To hold this up as some big biden win 1 is just wrong because advancements in an entire industry take longer to materialize than this and 2 is dishonest because this is not the win many would think it is.
