Actually, the US has an entity called the Department of Energy that does foster solar research. [1] If you're not US based, you may not know about this.

OK, so if that's really what we're interested in, increase its funding. Don't artificially slow the rollout of solar panels with trade barriers.

The atmosphere won't wait for us.
