      They blocked Chinese solar panels years ago. So we have to buy expensive Canadian made panels (which are probably backdoor Chinese panels), or find a supplier that has done an end run by routing panels via SE Asia and tacked on more costs. It’s bullshit.

        Suggesting that western manufacturers give any more of a shit about this is laughable.

        Just an example of how ridiculous this justification is, Tesla sources raw materials from a Chinese supplier.
