    Producing loads of solar panels is inefficient in a certain, wrong sense, in that it doesn’t make GDP go up as much as possible compared to other activities allocated by the market economy. Pay no attention to how it crashes every 5-7 years. That’s actually efficient because it lets rich people buy more of the economy, which lets them drive competitors out of business, form a monopoly, and lay everyone off, which increases efficiency by means of social Darwinism. If you didn’t make it that’s just a skill issue.

      Exactly, words like efficiency require context. A lot of people just have this notion that something being more efficient is inherently positive, but you really have to ask what it’s efficient at doing and who benefits from the said efficiency.
