The US solar panel value chain is currently undergoing a significant shift as the country strives to increase its manufacturing capacity. This comes in response to the increasing demand for solar energy and the need to reduce carbon emissions. A recent review of the industry shows that the United States currently has a total solar panel manufacturing capacity of around 10 gigawatts (GW) per year, which falls significantly short of the country's demand. To address this shortfall, the US government has taken various measures to increase the production of solar panels domestically. For instance, the Biden administration's recent infrastructure plan includes significant investments in clean energy, including solar panel manufacturing. This plan aims to support the growth of domestic solar panel production and create new jobs in the sector. To read more, use the button below to open the original external article.

When you read about Bhutan in the news, it's usually something to do with the environment or some progressive policies. Bhutan is famously the only carbon-negative country in the world — its lush forests sequester more greenhouse gas emissions than the country produces. It's also one of the countries most committed to environmental conservation, which the country considers one of the key pillars of "Gross National Happiness" — an innovative index Bhutan uses to measure how well-off its citizens are.
