He's just playin' possum on ya, CC. He learned that the hard-way in '16. Remember they was gonna change it to the popular vote exclusive the day after. They was gonna move off the North American continent. They was gonna stop having babies. They was gonna kill him come or high water. They was gonna sue him for divorce if Mel didn't within' 72 hours of him getting sworn, OR, help Madonna mine their new digs. They was gonna indict him for breathing if he lived thru Madonna's TnT badgering.
On & on.
Yet when Trump announced tariffs you called him everything but a White man.
You heard me, Winester.
The Solar Breakthrough That Could Help the U.S. Compete With China
The biggest investor in U.S. solar manufacturing is embracing a new technology that reduces the cost of producing the panels, potentially bolstering efforts to build a supply chain outside of China for an industry crucial to the energy transition.
The new technology comes from an Israeli startup that promises to simplify one of the most bersome steps in solar manufacturing and cut costs by reducing the amount of silver needed to capture sunlight on the panels.
The startup, called Lumet, is the brainchild of Benny Landa, who founded the company that developed the first digital printing press. That company was sold to HP for $830 million in the early 2000s. Lumet is working with Bank of America to raise hundreds of millions of dollars in the coming months, Landa said.
South Korea’s Hanwha Group says it will be the first company to use Lumet’s technology. Hanwha’s Qcells unit, one of the biggest solar-panel makers outside China, is building a multibillion-dollar solar supply chain in Georgia. The company expects the financial savings and performance gains to help it compete with low-cost products from the world’s biggest producer.
Plummeting costs have made solar power one of the cheapest and fastest-growing sources of energy globally. Further advances can reduce the need for fossil fuels to meet rising demand for electricity and help limit climate change.
Solar panels account for a small portion of overall project costs, but bigger contributors like labor, permitting and financing expenses are less flexible.

In the 1980s they said the Japenese can make cars cheaper but couldn't innovate; there's a similar derogatory impulse at work here.
