      That’s because they’re also heavily subsidizing that industry out of self-interest. That’s the “emerging markets” I mentioned above.

        Which sounds like a good idea for everybody. Maybe other countries should do the same thing.

        I’m no fan of West Taiwan but they’re doing a lot more to decarbonize than most other major economies.

        They are subsiding the deployment of clean energy sources?

        Good for them. And good for the world.

          Sure, it’s great for everyone, right up until it’s not anymore because they’ve erased the competition and then jacked up the prices to the point that common people can’t afford them, and further driven down workers’ wages in the process.

          Is no one else familiar with the concept of Predatory Pricing?
