The real surprise from the OECD’s subsidy numbers is that it cost China less than $18bn in sectoral support over 15 years to build an industry that can now provide more clean power than the world can readily absorb.

If industrial policy in the west had delivered this kind of bang for its buck, we would be patting ourselves on the back.

    How can you write a post so based on Material RealityTM and Real Engineeringology yet end with this shit:

    Meanwhile, in Shanghai, a consortium of leading solar players has launched a quest to put hundreds of GW of solar in space to support orbital data centres. Their ultimate dream is a lunar AI base rated at 10,000GW.

    Anyways a bit preaching to the choir
