Solar accounts for about 4% of U.S. power generation. President Biden and other advocates of green energy are trying to boost that number significantly. To make that happen, though, the U.S. would need to build a supply chain almost from scratch.
☆ Gabon Targets a Huge Payday With Carbon Credits

The African nation of Gabon, one of the most densely forested on earth, is launching the world’s biggest sale of carbon offset credits.

Businesses and financiers are scrambling to tap billions of dollars in U.S. clean-energy incentives, spurring what executives and government officials say is a frenzy of deal making in the renewable-power and emissions-reduction sectors.
