  This is Bloomberg Opinion Today, a valuable commodity of Bloomberg Opinion\u2019s opinions.     .Not that we needed any more  analogies, but solar power is, in many ways, the baby hippo\/midwest princess of the energy world. Seemingly overnight \u2014 well, 15 years, give or take \u2014 the power source went from \u201ca backwater to a boom industry,\u201d David Fickling  in a new free-to-read feature. In 2024 alone, he says \u201cthe capacity of new modules installed globally every three days is roughly equivalent to what existed in the entire world at the end of 2005.\u201d At the center of that domination is a five-letter word: China.Beijing hasn\u2019t always gone hard on solar panels, though: As recently as 2010, a random town in Saginaw County, Michigan was the world\u2019s biggest producer of polysilicon, the main ingredient needed for solar. To find out why \u2014 and how \u2014 the US lost its initial foothold in the industry, David Fickling  about 7,500 miles, or 12,000 kilometers to two vastly different solar cell plants, one in the Great Lakes region and the other in China\u2019s Sichuan province.First up: Hemlock Semiconductor, low-profile, albeit historically significant polysilicon producer in remote Michigan. And I mean remote. To anyone who thinks journalism is a , here\u2019s a photo David took while staking out in the woods \u2014 ever the dedicated columnist! \u2014 after the company turned down his requests to visit the facility:In 1954, some scientists figured out  to power computer processors, and by 1961, Hemlock was born on this plot of isolated farmland. Although the plant excelled at making chip-grade polysilicon, which David says is in almost every electronic device on the planet, it took nearly 40 years for solar polysilicon \u2014 made from scraps rejected by chipmakers \u2014 to become a valuable commodity in its own right.\u201cHemlock initially surfed this wave,\u201d David writes, but wasn\u2019t able to keep up with demand. \u201cUntil the mid-2000s, the raw material for all the chips and solar panels on the planet was  in the US, Europe and Japan,\u201d David explains. That oligopoly was extremely costly for solar panel manufacturers, and \u201cChinese rivals spied an opportunity to sell at half the costs of incumbents, sparking a trade war with the US.\u201d Fast-forward to now, and America is merely a footnote in solar history:China\u2019s Tongwei, the world\u2019s biggest solar power player today, has outposts throughout the country in energy-rich regions where power is cheap. The Sichuan-based site in Leshan, where David visited, \u201ccan produce about 120,000 tons, and Tongwei as a whole will have a capacity of 480,000 tons this year,\u201d an astonishing figure: \u201c480,000 tons is enough to generate sufficient solar electricity to power Mexico for a year \u2014 or Indonesia, or the UK and Ireland put together.\u201dDavid spoke to the site\u2019s strategic development director over a lunch of chicken-feet skewers. \u201cFor Tongwei, everything is about the market,\u201d the executive said. \u201cI don\u2019t think there will be a renaissance for the US, Europe and Japan \u2026 They cannot compete with the Chinese players any more.\u201dDavid mostly agrees. \u201cThe US solar industry that\u2019s left is moribund at best,\u201d he writes. \u201cTo have a functioning PV sector you need every piece of the supply chain \u2014 from polysilicon, ingot production and wafer slicing to cell manufacturing and finally module assembly. There\u2019s precious little sign that\u2019s going to emerge on a sufficient scale in the US,\u201d he writes, and levies won\u2019t help: \u201cSuccessive waves of tariffs have done little more than create a Potemkin solar industry, while putting a tax on clean power as the climate crisis festers.\u201d As painful as it may be to admit defeat, US officials need to drop their protectionist act and make peace with China\u2019s solar panel supremacy.

A slump in prices doesn\u2019t guarantee their security. \u2014 Javier BlasSpeaking of everything revolving around the market, here\u2019s a  from the  of HBO\u2019s Industry:And here\u2019s , for good measure:A machine could do your job! Our partners can only be allayed by more automation!! Heavy sobbing!!! This is the stuff of TV dreams. It\u2019s also the subject of Allison Schrager\u2019s  on financial planning:Sure, likening  or  to a mass-produced tote bag might seem unfair. But an AI reckoning for their real-life Wall Street equivalents is coming, and those who are willing to pony up more money for a personalized human touch are gonna trust people like  over  any day of the week.Mark Gongloff asked me \u2014 well, really  \u2014 to draw areas vulnerable to climate change on a map of the US. Here\u2019s mine. Forewarning: It\u2019s pretty ugly. And by no means a reflection of the truly wonderful data visualization capabilities we have at our disposal at Bloomberg News:Predictably, I circled all of the coasts and a handful of troublesome states \u2014 Arizona, California, Texas, Louisiana and Florida \u2014 for good measure. But clearly I didn\u2019t go inland enough: That yellow star you see near the Appalachians \u2014 which I added after my initial doodle \u2014 is western North Carolina, a temperate, mountainous region that Mark says is the new poster-child for disaster preparedness.\u201cSome places there received more than  of rain before and during [Hurricane Helene], causing biblical flooding that has taken  40 lives,  and roads and  from their pilings to ,\u201d he writes. \u201cIt\u2019s  that no matter how insulated people might feel from the global heating humanity has caused by burning fossil fuels and otherwise generating planet-warming gases, there are no real safe havens.\u201dThe widespread wreckage \u2014 200-plus miles of  and  \u2014 came as a major shock to even the most climate-aware. \u201cIf you had asked me a week ago, I would probably have recommended Asheville, North Carolina, as an ideal spot to ride out the climate emergency. It\u2019s a lovely, vibrant city far from the ocean, with plenty of fresh water and not so vulnerable to heat. I wasn\u2019t alone; Asheville often  of possible climate havens. All of us were tragically wrong,\u201d Mark admits.Bonus Disaster Reading:Nobody\u2019s talking about how President Biden has a worldwide initiative to , but we should be! Globally, lead poisoning is almost seven times more prevalent than it was in Flint, Michigan. Bangladesh has . Pakistan sells  with lead. Turkey with lead. Afghanistan cooks with  coated in lead. Matthew Yglesias says Biden\u2019s  to curb all that might end up being one of his \u201cgreatest legacies,\u201d but it likely won\u2019t be felt for decades.Welp, looks like we don\u2019t need to worry about Washington, DC \u201cbecoming * the* imperial city of the United States\u201d \u2014 a concern  apparently share! \u2014 anytime soon. Justin Fox  \u201cthe area isn\u2019t all that rich, for one thing. And it has been losing ground to other regions in recent years,\u201d contrary to all those  you hear about. \u201cUnlike the UK, or France, or Japan, the US is not experiencing an ever-growing concentration of wealth and economic power in and around its capital,\u201d he writes. I suppose that\u2019s something to cheer!A Ukraine  might do more harm than good. \u2014 Bloomberg\u2019s editorial boardKari Lake has  and is trailing badly in Arizona\u2019s Senate race. \u2014 Erika D.
