Biden's solar panel guidance faces criticism from Manchin, Wyden, and Kaptur.

Some Democrats, including Sens. Joe Manchin and Ron Wyden and Rep. Marcy Kaptur, are criticizing the Biden administration's guidance on solar panels, arguing that it is too lenient in allowing Chinese-made components to be included in solar panels that get tax benefits under the Inflation Reduction Act. They say the guidance could bolster Chinese manufacturers at the expense of domestic producers and that it rewards those who cut corners and offshore jobs. The lawmakers also voted against the Biden administration's pause on tariffs for some solar imports.
