"The top solar manufacturers in China *each* have more capacity than the entire U.S.

Single *factories* have more capacity than the entire U.S.

For ffs, it’s way past time for companies and their directors to stop making us (taxpayers) pay for cleaning up their messes while the pocket the gains from their dirty businesses. From dairying, mining through to forestry and all other polluters and environmental vandals - clean up & pay up. #nzpol
Forestry directors say court-ordered clean-up will make them bankrupt
Three directors say they’ll probably go bankrupt if they have to pay for the clean-up
