Biden’s solar panel problem is heating up again
from POLITICO Energy · host POLITICO
House lawmakers from both parties are moving toward reversing the Biden administration’s controversial two-year pause on solar import tariffs from four Southeast Asian countries. POLITICO’s Kelsey Tamborrino breaks down how those countries have served as conduits for Chinese solar equipment and why the push to undo Biden's policy is dividing the US solar industry. The House resolution also put Democrats in a tough position between siding with President Joe Biden or looking weak on China. Plus, House Republicans unveiled their debt limit plan, which has no chance of passing the Senate but seeks to repeal parts of President Joe Biden’s signature climate law. Kelsey Tamborrino is a reporter covering clean energy. Josh Siegel is an energy reporter for POLITICO. Nirmal Mulaikal is a POLITICO audio host-producer. Raghu Manavalan is a senior editor for POLITICO audio. Jenny Ament is the executive producer of POLITICO’s audio department. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
