Joe Biden will make climate change his top priority as president. At the same time, he has touted “Buy American” as an economic policy. Biden sees these two as connected. The utilization of domestic manufacturing, instead of foreign imports, to generate clean electricity would allow the country to bolster the industry while building a green grid. Forcing this connection by truncating foreign trade is misguided, however, as it will hinder both climate efforts and domestic manufacturing.
Biden has a goal of an emissions free grid by 2035. A recent study by the University of California Berkeley showed that achieving even a 90 percent emissions free grid by 2035 would, among other things, mean 25 percent of power generated by solar, well above the less than 2 percent now, or an increase by 70 gigawatts each year. In order to meet the goal, there must be a massive rise in use of solar panels at electric utilities.
