I seriously hope the next US administration stops bending over backwards to protect the big 3. If we want to address climate change, we're gonna low cost greentech and china is currently the king of that in evs, batteries and solar.
If we're really so concerned about 'supply chain' issues we could build up a strategic reserve of batteries and solar panels. If china wants to continue subsidizing their industry below costs of manufacture I see no reason why we shouldn't exploit their generosity to meet our climate goals as quickly as possible.
One of the 'good news' stories re: the recent datacenter buildout is that grid storage is now being more widely deployed, and that compliments the roll out of renewable energy.
