So there you are, Europe in all its splendor. It could have been smart and done exactly what China did starting as early as 2004. China recognized - which everyone was already saying at the time - that green energy was going to be huge and decided to strategically invest in a massive way in order to have the entire supply chain at home for their massive market, and to be able to be competitive in the global market. Europe didn't do that and now blames "Chinese cheap prices" for the failure of its late half-assed efforts, made in a context where they shot themselves in the foot wrt energy prices. https://lnkd.in/geudprzy
