I looked at the paragraph you’re talking about, and it was all about focusing on where the US has a comparative advantage, and not on giving more subsidies to domestic wind and solar manufacturers.
This is how I parsed that: “We are bad at doing X.” (I don’t agree this is a problem.) “We could be the best at doing X if we did it another way.” Space-based solar is a neat idea but it has a number of significant problems with it- and the suggestion that NASA do it instead of a private satellite company suggests to me that it’s going to be unprofitable for quite some time (which agrees with what I know about the technical details).
She was misstating Dawkins’ views, actually.
I’m aware. That are the following sentence were paraphrases of what she said, which I repeated because I think she’s wrong.
