America should welcome China's clean energy products, says Bloomberg columnist

China Daily  

Xinhua | Updated: 2024-06-06 16:48 This aerial photo taken on Feb 18, 2023 shows a photovoltaic power project in Liangzhou district of Wuwei, Northwest China's Gansu province. NEW YORK -- David Fickling, a Bloomberg Opinion columnist, argued on Wednesday that the United States should embrace affordable clean energy products, especially solar panels from China, rather than double tariffs. If Biden's promise of a carbon-free grid by 2035 is to have any chance of materializing, the United States needs to speed up its rates in connecting with wind and solar power farms at nearly 13 times of current rates and 3.5 times that in 2023, according to Fickling. U.S. President Joe Biden is going to need all of the Chinese production lines if he is to meet the target of decarbonizing the U.S. electricity grid by 2035, Fickling said.
