Solar Industry Says Senate Plan Would Cede Production to China (www.nytimes.com)

A revival of U.S. solar panel manufacturing that began during the first Trump administration could end with the phasing out of tax incentives for clean energy.

We managed to get the actual tax on solar removed from the bill in the Senate, so some level of change is in fact possible. The House is where it's at now, so Americans need to give your rep a call and tell them to reject this year's budget over this (or any of the other things in it)

LOL, "America first".

Just more evidence that Taco is all about so many other countries coming first. Israel first when it comes to whatever they want related to foreign policy. And putting China first as far as having them take the lead on everything - technology, science, medicine - because assholes like Taco and Brainworms have such ridiculous and stupid ideas about nearly everything.

With these idiots attacking things like....checks notes....solar and medical research and even vaccines...does anyone think that America can recover from that even if Taco and his terrorists only have 4 years in office?

At this point? Fucking good. Americans clearly don't deserve domestic manufacturing capacity.

China Century. Just embrace it already.
