一 | 河南省三门峡市人大常委会一级巡视员牛兰英接受纪律审查和监察调查 据河南省纪委监委消息:河南省三门峡市人大常委会一级巡视员牛兰英涉嫌严重违纪违法,目前正接受河南省纪委监委纪律审查和监察调查。 A South Korean company has begun production at a huge new solar panel factory in Georgia even as industry leaders say surging Asian imports could dampen efforts to make more solar components in the United States.Qcells, a unit of South Korea’s Hanwha Group, said Wednesday that it can now turn out enough solar panels to generate 5.1 gigawatts of power yearly at a two-factory complex in the northwest Georgia city of Dalton. That's almost 40% of U.S. solar panel capacity, according to figures from the Solar Energy Industries Association. Qcells' opened its first factory in 2019 and an even larger plant in phases since, what the company describes as the largest solar investment in American history. “It’s another milestone as we as a company really strive to become a global leader and a U.S. leader in solar manufacturing," said Scott Moskowitz, Qcells head of market strategy and public affairs, speaking with The Associated Press after a plant tour Monday.The company says its new plant is the first solar module factory in the U.S. to begin production since passage of President Joe Biden’s signature climate legislation. Qcells' $208 million investment again shows how federal incentives are spurring a nationwide boom in renewable energy and electric vehicles.Industry jitters about a flood of cheap solar panels from overseas show how dependent on federal policy the solar industry remains. That's a threat in part because former President Donald Trump, the frontrunner for the 2024 Republican nomination, is hostile to renewable energy.Qcells leaders say the new plant showcases more efficient equipment and processes, part of a much larger investment intended to bring key steps in solar manufacturing to the U.S. A solar panel, or module, is assembled from solar cells most commonly made from wafers cut from ingots of polysilicon. Today, the company's solar cells are imported from Asia. But 30 miles (50 kilometers) south of Dalton in Cartersville, Qcells is building a $2.3 billion complex to take polysilicon refined in Washington state and make ingots, wafers and solar cells — in addition to 3.3 gigawatts of solar modules. That plant is scheduled to open in phases starting next year.Currently, no silicon ingots or wafers are made in the U.S. But Biden's Inflation Reduction Act, besides offering a extra tax credit on American-made solar equipment, lets manufacturers earn incentives for every unit of polysilicon they refine and every wafer, cell and module they make. For example, Qcells earns a tax credit of 7 cents per watt for every panel it makes in Dalton, or $34.30 for every 490-watt residential panel made.Even with that boost, solar industry leaders warn, factories will struggle to compete with a new spike in cheap Asian imports. They're again urging federal officials to investigate whether solar panels are being dumped at unfairly low prices. Previous investigations have led to anti-dumping tariffs on panels made in China and Taiwan.U.S. officials shouldn't regard the spike as a normal market fluctuation, said Mike Carr, executive director of the Solar Energy Manufacturers for America Coalition, a group that includes Qcells. He argues Chinese component makers are pushing out cheap modules from southeast Asian factories, tanking panel prices to ensure Chinese dominance and smother U.S. manufacturing.“This is likely to be the No. 1 new energy source in the 21st century," Carr said. "It’s already cheaper than pretty much anything else to install. It is the path to meeting our climate goals. So I think it becomes a real national security kind of concern. The way OPEC is in oil markets, we don’t want to allow China to become that same controller of supply in solar.”Qcells sees current low prices as a “near-term challenge" in achieving economies of scale and serving a long-term market, Moskowitz said. Beyond trade policy, he said, requiring federal agencies to buy American-made products and promoting panels produced with fewer carbon emissions could bolster Qcells.Politics envelops the solar industry. Vice President Kamala Harris visited the plant earlier this year. At the state level, Republican Gov. Brian Kemp has wrestled with Democratic U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff over political credit for electric vehicle and renewable energy investments flowing to Georgia. “Out of all the places Qcells could have gone, they chose to operate and expand here in Georgia because of our unrivaled assets and the competitive package we put together,” Kemp said in a statement.Ossoff and fellow Georgia Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock note they authored the component incentives that benefit Qcells, emphasizing federal policy. “Our state is emerging as the advanced energy capital of the nation, thanks to federal infrastructure and manufacturing policies that are benefiting Georgia more than any other state,” Ossoff said in a statement.Qcells, for its part, praises both state and federal assistance.“To build these markets up and to have them work, you need a whole government approach," Moskowitz said.。 山西省大同市人大常委会原党组成员、副主任曹世平被开除党籍 据山西省纪委监委消息:日前,经山西省委批准,山西省纪委监委对大同市人大常委会原党组成员、副主任曹世平严重违纪违法问题进行了立案审查调查。 经查,曹世平丧失理想信念,背离党性原则,无视中央八项规定精神,收受礼品、礼金;违反组织原则,不按规定报告个人有关事项,违规为他人在职务调整晋升等方面谋取利益;由他人支付应由本人负担的费用;利用职务便利为他人在项目审批、企业经营等方面谋利,并非法收受巨额财物。 经山西省纪委常委会会议研究并报山西省委批准,决定给予曹世平开除党籍处分;按规定取消其享受的待遇;收缴其违纪违法所得;将其涉嫌犯罪问题移送检察机关依法审查起诉,所涉财物一并移送。 贵州省委办公厅原副主任陈丽萍被开除党籍和公职 据贵州省纪委监委消息:经贵州省委批准,贵州省纪委监委对贵州省委办公厅原副主任陈丽萍严重违纪违法问题进行了立案审查调查。 经查,陈丽萍丧失理想信念,背弃初心使命,对党不忠诚不老实,搞政治攀附,参加迷信活动;无视中央八项规定精神,违规收受礼品礼金;毫无组织原则,弃守廉洁底线,违规违纪谋取职务利益;对党纪国法毫无敬畏之心,利用职务便利为他人在项目承揽、企业经营等方面谋取利益,并非法收受巨额财物;为谋取不正当利益,送给国家工作人员财物。 经贵州省纪委常委会会议研究并报贵州省委批准,决定给予陈丽萍开除党籍处分;由省监委给予其开除公职处分;收缴其违纪违法所得;将其涉嫌犯罪问题移送检察机关依法审查起诉,所涉财物一并移送。 原大同煤矿集团有限责任公司党委常委、工会主席王宏被开除党籍 据山西省纪委监委消息:日前,经山西省委批准,山西省纪委监委对原大同煤矿集团有限责任公司党委常委、工会主席王宏严重违纪违法问题进行了立案审查调查。 经查,王宏丧失党性原则,背弃职责使命,无视中央八项规定精神,违规使用公务用车,由他人支付旅游费用;违规为他人在职务调整晋升方面谋取利益;向管理服务对象高价售车;利用职务上的便利,为他人在工程承揽等方面谋取利益,非法收受巨额财物;财产明显超过合法收入,差额巨大,且本人不能说明来源。 经山西省纪委常委会会议研究并报山西省委批准,决定给予王宏开除党籍处分,按规定取消其享受的待遇;收缴其违纪违法所得;将其涉嫌犯罪问题移送检察机关依法审查起诉,所涉财物一并移送。 (透视社综合中央纪委国家监委网站、贵州省纪委监委、山西省纪委监委、河南省纪委监委报道)编辑:李煦 校对:李旭颖 审核:龚紫陌。
