First Solar CEO Mark Widmar: "This is a story about taking American technology, enabling American manufacturing, creating American jobs — enabled by an American supply chain which is obviously catalyzed by an America First policy that we have under President Trump."

Trump policies aren’t only spurring US oil, but solar too, challenging to China’s dominance. How to watch Sunday: tinyurl.com/3ueu8awr

#EconTwitter In old days, mfg jobs were looked upon as low value added, why outsourcing made sense: US economy would thrive on high value added service jobs. This ignored the job multiplier impact. One solar mfg job linked to creating 7+ other jobs. Hello. firstsolar.com/en/About-Us/E…

🧵 @IEA released a new report on the state of the solar supply chain. Here are the top highlights.
China has 95% of global poly, ingot + wafer manufacturing capacity — and the recent supply shortages + delays are just the newest in a string over concentration-related issues.
