Oh heavens no, not subsidies for green energy. The world is in a climate emergency but GDP competition is clearly still the top issue for the elite.

It's more nuanced than that. For instance, Chinese dumping caused many renewable companies in Europe to go bankrupt, which possibly slowed down innovation. I won't pretend to know the details of either, but often it happens that consolidation yields undesired consequences.

The issue is the made in America part, which is anticompetitive.
