Taking bets now on Trump suddenly pulling all renewable subsidies and/or slapping massive tariffs on renewable energy…
Wish I was joking too, but it's what happened here in the UK; the moment renewables started proving their viability with subsidies, the subsidies were axed, now most renewables are barely seeing investment, and installation of solar panels has dropped by something like 98%.
Yet our government pledged to be carbon neutral by 2050, and pretends that this makes us a world leader somehow (even though Norway has pledged to be carbon neutral by 2035 and made that pledge years ago, as well as actually being on track to meet it).
