Congressional Battle Over Solar Tariffs and Chinese Handouts Continues

The House has approved a resolution to resume tariffs on solar power imports suspended by the Biden administration. The White House has already vowed to veto the resolution, arguing the tariff suspension is vital to allow the U.S. to build up renewable energy infrastructure for the transition away from fossil fuels. Despite the Democratic Senate majority, the resolution is likely to clear the upper chamber as well. Resuming the tariffs would be another blow to the domestic solar industry, which has warned it could be devastating to U.S. manufacturing.
