IcePee,

The real question is do we have enough access to cheap green tech? A further, more probing question is: what are we willing to sacrifice to get it? Potential things on the chopping block:

  • sovereignty
  • worker rights
  • national security
  • a resilient economy

As to the last one, as the recent pandemic showed, consolidating manufacturing to one country/area can make the global economy quite fragile to economic, environmental, societal and political shocks.
