We don’t need climate policy any more. Solar is by a wide margin the cheapest electricity and will continue growing at a wild pace.
Until the tariffs hit[0] because the reason solar is so cheap is due to cheap Chinese panels.

Not to mention, this is a very naive take, at best.

I think solar is only cheapest at point of production. Once you factor in transmission costs, grid congestion, intermittent supply, etc. Solar is still expensive at point of consumption.

It's not to argue directly against your point but just that we still have a lot of work to move over to a sustainable electrical grid. And that will be helped by favourable policy
