How about an American auto industry that is dying? Real wages dropping? I thought government debt would destroy the US economy back when GW cut taxes and went into two wars. Apparently I was very wrong. lol I look across Houston roads and do not see the auto industry dying. I see many cars. I also see smog. Real wages are affected by inflation maybe caused by the Russians and Saudi cutting oil production? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As an example, in January 2022, BNEF predicted that global solar additions in 2023 would reach just 236 GW. As a result of the higher installations in 2023, forecasts for 2024 have been revised upwards. For example, SolarPower Europe adjusted its forecast for 2024 from 401 GW (June 2023) to 544 GW (June 2024). How much does solar grow after 2024? The massive step up in solar capacity installations in 2023 and 2024 has shifted perceptions around solar’s role in the energy transition. Solar will likely add more GWs in 2024 than the entire global increase in coal power capacity since 2010 (540 GW) Crude Oil Prices Today | OilPrice.com Solar Set to Break Another Record This Year Solar capacity additions this year will likely break their previous record, coming in at 593 GW, according to climate think tank Ember. . 21 hours ago Edited 21 hours ago by notsonice 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TailingsPond + 648 GE 7 hours ago (edited) 16 hours ago, Ecocharger said: Nonsense, EV sales are DOWN big-time and this has caused the decline in EV sales prices. Yes sale numbers are down so they do a sale to increase sale numbers. Sales (price reductions) are done in many industries especially near year end when new models come out (hint most new models at the car shows will be EVs). Furthermore, you once again fail to understand rates of change and absolute numbers are different. For example when oil prices are in the dumps (like now) you spout off about demand and future projections - you hold out hope for oil in the face of a bad situation. In this case absolute EV car sales are down but you fail to think lowering EV prices will stimulate the rate of sales - you remain pessimistic on EVs in the face of a positive stimulation (lower prices). Being low but rising isn't necessarily better or worse than high and falling. You have deeply ingrained biases which warp your perception of reality.
