      Irregardful whether hands have noses … The fact that China runs a heavily subsidized, localized supply chain free of the burdens of environmental or human rights rules should be an indications that the free market will not be able to compete. Unless you ideologically really don’t want industries with a future in the EU and keep us dependent on fossil fuels, [in which case you keep arguing there’s a free market to be found here].
