Reposted by Timur ErgenJonas Nahm @jonasnahm.com · 20/06/20261/ The purpose of green industrial policy has inverted. It used to pay for a public good: clean energy that cost more, benefiting everyone. Now it captures advantages a country keeps for itself. That shift, from a shared cost to a prize seized, is the story of the transition. 1468
