Amy – thanks for posting this. There is currently a crisis in the US solar industry, described here:
https://www.utilitydive.com/news/commerce-department-kicks-off-1-year-solar-tariff-investigation-on-panels-i/621153/
Up to 80% of planned 2022 US solar installations are now at risk of delay or cancellation. The ambitious, but achievable, Biden Administrative goal of 50% renewable energy by 2030 would be that much more unlikely. This is an unforced error. I will be interested on the call to hear what the environmental advocates have to say about this, it’s the single most important US climate policy question at the moment.
There is voluminous information online about this topic from a spectrum of sources for anyone interested.
