problem with US and EU is lack of permitting reform
**US alone had roughly 2600 GW of clean energy waiting in interconnection queues back in 2023, since then it has grown even more**
of that , 1080 GW was solar power capacity , as much as China has today in total

government bureaucracy wasn’t made for a scenario where they have to approve tens of thousands of small scale power plants, tens of thousands of kilometers of power lines per year
they either need to hire more people to process those applications, or simplify the procedures and bureaucracy
