You wouldn’t know it today, but the silicon photovoltaic solar cell the standard, black-and-copper solar panel you can find on suburban rooftops and solar farms was born and raised in America.
The technology was invented here. In 1954, three American engineers at Bell Labs discovered that electrons flow freely through silicon wafers when they are exposed to sunlight.
It was deployed here. In 1958, the U.S. Navy bolted solar panels to Vanguard 1, the second American satellite in space.
And for a time, it was even made here. In the 1960s and ’70s, American companies dominated the global solar market and registered most solar patents. As late as 1978, American firms commanded 95 percent of the global solar market, Đọc tiếp Why the U.S. Doesn’t Dominate the Solar-Panel Industry Anymore →

for example, the auto industry could lose between 18,000 and 40,000 jobs by the end of next year. the solar panel industry could lose at least 23,000 jobs this year. 134,000 jobs could be lost due to tariffs on chinese imports and retaliatory duties on u.s. exports. 67,000 of them in agriculture alone. the administration plans to spend $12 billion to boost the nation s agricultural sector, but if it compensated for losses across all affected industries, the price tag could balloon to $39 billion. now, in some cases the administration s tariff policies can both help and hurt the very same business. in the small town of clyde, ohio, just one of the many communities caught up in the middle of the president s trade war. garrett haake recently visited clyde and he joins us now with more on the situation there. talk to me about what s going on in clyde and how the people there view this trade war,
thai subsidi they subsidize capital. it s stuck in the house. governor romney if he really cares about china and jobs in the u.s. should tell speaker boehner to pass this bill. come to my website, sign up and sign our letter saying move on our china bill. there s a lot of things to do here. i m working on legislation. we can do this and do china currency. there s all kind of opportunity to play fair. china subsidizes their solar panel industry. they have the government saying go beat the united states. go beat them at the game. go take the market from them. we re going to give you the money to do this. you go ahead and make it. in the meantime you have american companies who are prmping these goods from china and it depresses the labor market in this country and also
tensions have been building ever since. mary snow is there witnessing the protesters and she s joining us there by phone. so, mary, give me an idea of what the police presence is like and is this crowd growing? it s been a massive crowd this morning, fredricka. down here in lower manhattan in the surrounding blocks around the new york stock exchange. we are on one intersection where there has been pretty much a standoff between police and protesters and there was a barricade up preventing them from going any closer to the new york stock exchange and on the last few minutes we have seen some arrests. people were carried out and how we have seen, also, more police showing up at this intersection where we are with handcuffs. the police got on the loud speaker just a short time ago telling protesters to get on the sidewalk. they have blocked the intersection in this block right near the stock exchange and it s pretty much protesters just kind of in this standoff with police. it
