If you think slave labor is the only receipts I have regarding the issue... you should know better by now. Biden did what he did, because he was paid off... not out of some altruistic sentiment to save the planet.
Report from the IEA:

And if you don't know what the IEA is:

"
Costs in China are 10% lower than in India,
20% lower than in the United States, and 35% lower than in Europe. Large variations in energy, labour, investment and overhead costs explain these differences. Still, in the absence of financial incentives and manufacturing support, the bankability of manufacturing projects outside of panel assembly remains limited outside of China and few countries in Southeast Asia."
So to save 20% on production costs..... Biden supports:
"Domestic manufacturing can reduce manufacturing CO2 emissions if the local electricity mix is less carbon-intensive than in the exporting country." -----
Increasing CO2 emissions
"The production of many key minerals used in PV is highly concentrated, with China playing a dominant role... This rapid growth, combined with long lead times for mining projects, increases the risk of supply and demand mismatches, which can lead to cost increases and supply shortages." -----
Falling behind in control of key mineral production to China
"The
world will almost completely rely on China for the supply of key building blocks for solar panel production through 2025. Based on manufacturing capacity under construction, China’s share of global polysilicon, ingot and wafer production will soon reach almost 95%." ----
Close to 100% reliance on China
"Governments therefore need to turn their attention to ensuring the security of solar PV supplies as an integral part of clean energy transitions.
Countries should consider assessing their domestic solar PV supply chain vulnerabilities and risks – and developing strategies and actions to address them." ----
Harming our own National Security
Now... you can read the rest of the International Energy Agency's report for yourself... but what Biden did is nothing good for the United States, and only benefits China.
