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.

But what is that number, roughly?

After living through the first 18 month of Trump’s second term, with all the lies, the incompetence, and the corruption, this number has dwindled to a point that the Republicans are bracing themselves for the worst.

A reader asks: Can I get the scare tactic for next cycle? I want to get a head start on the memes.
Ha! Exactly.
Republicans are counting on the idea that the average American is so ignorant that he can’t distinguish between the governments of modern-day North Korea and Norway.
This is how far we’ve fallen, and in just a few years.
What’s next?
