    Biden’s sanctions on solar panels from China has resulted in protected monopolies jacking up costs.

    This claim is not supported by the article in any fashion.

    Summary from the article:

    Clean Energy Associates released a summary of the seven solar module trade policies and solar panel import tariffs currently in place, including AD/CVD rulings, Section 201/302, and the Uyghur Protection Act. These tariffs have significantly increased, or will increase, the cost of hardware imports into the United states – predominantly from China, but not exclusively – by 91% to 286%

    The article addresses how the tariffs are expected to increase the prices of solar panels imported from various countries.

    This seems like yet another blatant misrepresentation of facts as part of OPs aggressive voter suppression campaign to make Joe Biden look bad in order to help Donald Trump get elected.

      Someone else around here got banned for being that disingenuous; maybe the mods keep dishing out that treatment?

          So you also recognize there are many bad-faith posters who are trying to induce apathy and division in order to facilitate another Trump presidency?

          Cool, I’m glad we can agree on one thing!

            I recognize that centrists interpret all deviation from neoliberal orthodoxy as such.

            Cool, I’m glad we can agree on one thing!

            Putting words in my mouth and then announcing we agree.

      Biden doesn’t need help looking bad, if your preferred candidate loses it will be because of incompetence by the party, and that pesky genocide thing.
