Worse than that, it might end up misdirecting the world’s clean energy efforts into dirtier than appreciated energy technologies because of the country’s ongoing dependence on coal-fired energy. Basic reasoning suggests the manufacturing shift must have added to solar’s carbon intensity. But what she told Mariutti was not reassuring.
