Yellen Issues Warnings On China's Green Energy Exports: It 'Hurts American Firms And Workers'
Portfolio Pulse from Piero Cingari
Treasury Secretary Janet L. Yellen is set to express concerns about China's green energy exports and their impact on American firms and workers in a speech. Yellen will highlight the market distortions caused by China's subsidized green technology exports. This comes as she visits Suniva Inc., a U.S. solar-cell facility in Georgia, highlighting the U.S.'s focus on reviving its green energy sector. The performance of U.S. green energy stocks, such as Invesco Solar ETF (TAN) and iShares Global Clean Energy ETF (ICLN), has been disappointing, with significant losses since early 2021. Yellen's upcoming visit to China aims to address these issues amid the Biden administration's push for renewable energy investments.
