1) “Can produce” != “do produce”
2) 85% supply chain control means even if you intend start your own production, you still depend on China for resources… which they can cut at any time, as they occasionally do with rare earth metals etc
3) moving production back to EU means cost increase because you no longer leverage Chinese forced labour, poor environmental standards, subsidies and low CO2 tax
Which are the reasons why China built that supply chain dependency in the first place 🤷

@kravietz@agora.echelon.pl @futuresprog@mastodon.nzoss.nz If you think the supply chain of renewables is problematic, you should check the supply chain for nuclear energy.

Oh you muppet. You’re telling me because I have Korean-made solar panels installed on my house and gathering renewable energy that I currently rely on China and forced labour? Get out of here. What are you proposing? That I get rid of my solar installation and import some diesel from Saudi Arabia and support Mohammed Bone Saw? Goddamn stupidest thing I’ve read today. You should be ashamed. @kravietz@agora.echelon.pl
