WHAT PRESIDENT TRUMP CAN LEARN FROM AFRICA ABOUT GOING GREEN
In September, the U.S. International Trade Commission passed a ruling that will allow President Donald Trump to erect trade barriers that could cripple the burgeoning American solar industry—a decision that benefits domestic panel manufacturers and cheaper fossil fuel producers at the expense of foreign solar installation firms, consumers and the environment.
Across the Atlantic Ocean, something very different is happening in Africa. Despite the region’s reputation for red tape and bureaucracy, governments are actually making it easier to go green on the continent.
