    Guns Routers and e-bike batteries

    Correct me if I’m wrong here, but none of those were part of this article which was discussing solar inverters in large scale projects.

    Guns are a regulatory thing, which over here in Europe they are a lot harder to get than when I lived in the US, but it is just a matter of joining a club and some paperwork at least in the country I’m in.

    Routers could be related to the chip shortages with AI, and e-bike batteries would almost more seem like a supply and demand issue with their increased popularity these days.

      No, I was talking about protectionist policy in general, you are correct.

      I don’t think the socialist global industrial powerhouse is having an issue with batteries.

        Ah ok yea, then yes it would be an impact to you more broadly with those.

        My bad, I was assuming you were also in Europe/talking about Europe. The US is a whole different set of “fun” in that way.

        Correct, I should have been more explicit in calling it a localized supply and demand issue as the local retailers of the Chinese batteries are who I was meaning were having issues keeping supply on hand not that the actual producers couldn’t keep up

          The regulatory nature of Europe seems to have a favoring advantage for their local bougie. All though the regulatory nature is a pain in the ass. Guns are one thing…try having a radio station in Germany!
