Energy

Manufacturing the equipment of the energy transition — solar modules, transformers, switchgear, electrolyzers, advanced batteries — has become a domestic industrial priority in its own right. The Inflation Reduction Act's §45X advanced-manufacturing production credits make the unit economics workable at US labor costs. Transformer shortages are now a meaningful constraint on the broader power-grid expansion.
