    The dominant form of new capacity is not “effectively banned” by any stretch though. This is not splitting hairs, it’s just wrong

      photovoltaics are the world’s dominant form and the united states imposes a 15-147% tariffs on them while europe outright banned them coming from china before relenting and the situation gets works for other dominant forms like electric vehicles with a 200% tariffs.

      whether or not they’re officially banned is splitting hairs when they’re practically unaffordable to obtain.

        No, I mean the dominant form of energy in the US and in Europe even despite that. Not just the world. It’s a hindrance, but a far cry from an effective ban in at all
