Senators Introduce Bill to Block Taxpayer Funds for Chinese Solar Companies, Boost American Manufacturing Efforts.

A group of four US senators have introduced a bill to prevent taxpayer money from going to Chinese solar and clean energy companies. The American Tax Dollars for American Solar Manufacturing Act aims to prevent companies with ties to a Foreign Entity of Concern from receiving the 45X Advanced Manufacturing Tax Credit. The bill was introduced by Democratic senators Sherrod Brown of Ohio, Jon Ossoff of Georgia, and Republicans Bill Cassidy of Louisiana and Rick Scott of Florida. The Solar Energy Manufacturers for America (SEMA) Coalition welcomed the initiative, stating it protects American solar manufacturing.
