Report From CRS Says U.S. Ability On Solar Manufacturing 'in Question'

摘要

The ability of the United States to build a manufacturing base for photovoltaic solar equipment "is in question" following expiration of several federal subsidies and because of increased competition from natural gas-fired power plants, according to a report by the Congressional Research Service. In addition, the competitiveness of electricity generated from solar photovoltaics, the most widely used solar technology, "will likely be adversely affected" by those factors, according to the report released April 27.
