I'm not talking about what's happening now (even though there's plenty of criticism to be said about the programs that we run). I'm talking about a new wave of politicians that's coming up in both regions, and they want this to stop.

As long as it’s economical, people will keep adding solar and going green without paying attention to politics.

Case point: Oil and gas industry-loving Texas added 6.5 GW of solar in 2023 alone, more than any other state.

Ah gotcha, right now there seems to be a radical group that would oppose their own nose if it twitched the wrong way.

I wouldn't worry, the smart money is on renewables, and nothing is going to stop it. Plus, national security people know it is so important globally.

The thing about money is that energy is a critical sector of the economy of each region, so governments push a lot of public funding towards it. That's why I'm bringing up politics here, otherwise the free market would take care of the issue as always.
