    They could cut subsidies to fossil fuel industry, which would do more to help climate then this exercise.

    Neither side is doing anything about dealing with actual culprits. With subsidies, nuclear and renewables can compete properly but this topic does not get any attention from the fake news.

      That’s because the fossil fuels industry bought off all the Republicans and a small number of Democrats. This let them force the Inflation Reduction Act to be all-carrot-no-stick

      India and Vietnam have higher share of solar in their electricity mix then the US and I kind of doubt they hand out massive subsidies to solar.
