The American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE) has welcomed President Biden’s veto to halt congressional efforts to repeal the solar tariff moratorium.
ACORE president and chief executive Gregory Wetstone said: “President Biden’s veto today is a welcome step to avoid a disastrous impact on the US economy and ensure continuing progress toward the clean energy transition and our climate goals.
“The Congressional Review Act repeal passed by Congress would have changed the rules renewable developers and manufacturers rely upon, resulting in many dozens of canceled solar projects, tens of thousands of lost jobs, and a dangerous increase in carbon emissions.
“Thanks to the President’s veto, the US solar industry can now resume its growth as we expand our domestic manufacturing base to better meet the growing US demand for solar panels.”
