Description
The Biden administration announced several actions on Thursday to
support U.S solar manufacturers, which could ultimately help create
domestic jobs but also threaten America’s clean energy growth.
POLITICO’s Kelsey Tamborrino breaks down the moves and why solar imports
continue to be a complicated political and policy issue for the
president. Plus, the Interior Department proposed ending new federal
coal leasing in the Powder River Basin in Wyoming and Montana, the
nation's biggest coal field.
