House bipartisan deal would hit Biden, punish China with solar panel tariffs -
The bipartisan measure passed 221-202, with a dozen Democrats crossing party lines in the GOP-controlled House to support it. The vote marked the latest example of Democrats voting with Republicans to roll back Mr. Biden’s regulatory agenda.The legislation is expected to easily clear the Senate as Democrats line up to support it.
Reimposing the tariffs, the White House says, would jeopardize the domestic solar industry and Mr. Biden’s climate change agenda by stripping away a cheap foreign supply of panels. The tariff suspension is meant to act as a bridge to support domestic solar projects while more American manufacturing comes online.
The solar industry has also sounded the alarm, saying the legislation would impose retroactive tariffs that would cripple U.S solar projects and cost tens of thousands of clean energy jobs. Sen. Joe Manchin III of West Virginia signed on as a co-sponsor, making him one of several Senate Democrats who say they’ll vote for it.
