The Department of Energy’s Loan Programs Office (LPO) has made a conditional commitment for a  $1.45 billion loan guarantee to Qcells. 

The loan guarantee will support the company’s solar supply chain facility in Cartersville, Ga., which is slated to produce ingots, wafers, cells and finished solar panels.

Once fully operational, the facility is expected to produce 3.3 GW of solar panels annually.

Qcells’ other solar factory, opened in 2019, is located one hour north of the facility site in Dalton, Ga.

Projects like the one announced today will benefit from the Section 45 Advanced Manufacturing Production Tax Credit, also known as 45X, created by President Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act.

The loan guarantee would be offered through LPO’s Title 17 Clean Energy Financing Program, which includes financing opportunities for innovative energy and supply chain projects and projects that reinvest in existing energy infrastructure.

What Should Trump Supporters Do at this Point?

Maybe a better question is what they shouldn’t do.

If I were one of these folks, I would be reluctant to go on record and declare my support for the man who has almost single handedly brought the United States to its knees.

A little over ten years ago,

  • Our country was the envy of the world; now we’re regarded with a mixture of ridicule and contempt.
  • We were making our way forward out of ignorance, racism, and hatred of other people; now it’s thriving.
  • The common American could afford gasoline, housing, and groceries; now we’re suffering.
  • America was doing what it could to protect endangered species and forward environment responsibility; now we’ve sold our souls to the greediest of individuals and corporations.
  • We had very little corruption in the presidency; now it’s rampant, and the DoJ has been weaponized to protect the criminal sociopath in the White House.

Again, I’d be loath to attach my name to this shit.

Well, he’s certainly one of the most visible anti-intellectuals and science deniers in our public space.

The Republican Brand

Published

No one with any sense truly doubts the words at left.  Caring only about wealthy white men is the GOP brand, like the Nike “swoosh.”

Not only does the Republican party appeal to the uber-rich, but also to wide variety of racists, and people stupid enough to believe that Trump is bringing manufacturing back to the U.S. and that the billionaires are job creators.
