"American policy, which incentivizes our consumers to purchase China-made solar panels manufactured with inexpensive coal power by low-wage workers, has decimated the U.S. solar industry, made us dependent on an adversary for critical energy infrastructure, and failed as climate policy, given that China is increasing carbon emissions faster than we can reduce them ("Coal Plays Key Role in Making Chinese Panels," U.S. News, Aug. 2). I will soon introduce legislation to restrict generous federal solar tax credits to panels manufactured at each stage with majority-U.S. inputs. My bill also will require disclosing to consumers the percentage of fossil fuels used to manufacture each brand of solar modules, so environmentally conscious buyers don't become unwitting subsidizers of fossil fuels.
