Washington, December 10, 2021/PRNewswire/ - Representatives of Daniel Meuser (PA-09), John Moolenaar (MI-04), Billy Long (MO-07) and Vicky Hartzler (MO-04) introduced HR 6230, the U.S. Battery Act, which will amend the recently passed infrastructure law to abolish the super fund excise tax imposed on lead oxide, antimony, and sulfuric acid. The amendment would eliminate a tax that puts American industry at a disadvantage, that is, paying higher costs for the key raw materials used to make lead batteries. No chemical tax is levied on imported batteries.

The U.S. Battery Act will abolish a tax, giving foreign manufacturers an unfair advantage in the cost of raw materials

"The lead battery industry thanks representatives of Meuser, Moolenaar, Long and Hartzler for taking steps to ensure that the important U.S. battery manufacturing industry continues to provide lead batteries for many key business sectors, including defense, transportation, logistics, telecommunications, and energy production.

"The U.S. Battery Act will eliminate a tax that gives foreign manufacturers an unfair advantage in the cost of raw materials and undermines the purpose of the infrastructure bill to support domestic manufacturing. If a tax is allowed, it will generate Negatively affect 25,000 American workers who manufacture and recycle lead batteries are proud that their products are the most recycled consumer products in the United States," said Roger Miksad, executive vice president and general counsel of the International Battery Council.

In the foreseeable future, lead batteries will become the dominant rechargeable battery technology, the consumer product with the highest recycling rate in the United States, and a global leader in various green applications. These applications come from well-known automotive applications and support low-carbon start-ups. Clean mobile-stop and micro-hybrid vehicles, to the growing utility and renewable energy storage markets, are ushering in a global energy transition.

The U.S. lead battery industry invested 100 million U.S. dollars in research and development in 2019. Through an agreement with the U.S. National Laboratory System, it is actively seeking next-generation battery technology and energy storage to meet the needs of the market. 360 GWh increased to 430 GWh in 2030. These battery innovations are being developed by American companies and will be built by American workers in communities across the country.

About the International Battery Council The International Battery Council is the North American trade association that represents companies that manufacture, supply, recycle, and distribute lead batteries. For more information about the association, please visit www.batterycouncil.org.

Time magazine announced on Monday that the CEOs of Tesla and SpaceX, not to mention the richest people in the world, have been named People of the Year.

California is expected this week to propose changes to a state policy that allows owners of private homes with solar panels to sell excess energy to the grid at or near retail prices. This policy, called net metering, has become a controversial lightning rod since it was adopted decades ago: solar supporters say it is essential to support the industry’s growth in combating climate change, while critics say it is worth as much as Billions have provided dollar subsidies to wealthy homeowners at the expense of other utility taxpayers. Any change in policy could have a wide range of impacts on the utilities and solar industry-including large panel installers like Sunrun Inc and SunPower Corp. Experts, it can also provide clues to states that tend to adopt California's lead in climate change and clean energy policies.

The southern tip of Israel is a rocky desert, where there are a large number of solar panels, when the sun is shining, almost all the source of electricity. Renewable energy from solar and wind energy systems cannot be stored without additional costs-this is the main obstacle to the world's efforts to get rid of polluting fuels and avoid climate disasters. But in Kibbutz Yahel, a small community not far from the Red Sea, residents have begun to use a new technology that can store solar energy cheaply and generate electricity at night. During the day, the excess energy produced by solar panels drives a system in which water is used to condense the air in underground storage tanks.

U.S. energy companies are urging states to accelerate the development of low-carbon fuel markets and warn that many proposed projects to manufacture renewable natural gas and other biofuels may fail. The state program led by the California Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) rewards fuel producers to decarbonize by producing renewable fuels, and they respond by increasing the production of this "greener" supply. The US Department of Energy estimates that by 2030, renewable diesel will account for about 7% of the entire diesel pool; currently only 5%. However, the price of LCFS credits in California, which is generated and traded by companies that produce fuel with a carbon intensity lower than the benchmark set by the states, has fallen by nearly 30% in the past two months to less than US$145 per metric ton. According to the California Air Resources Board (CARB), carbon.

Sebastian Gollnow/Picture Alliance from Getty Images Most countries in the world support carbon neutrality by 2050. Despite the incredible difficulties ahead, this is a goal worth pursuing given that the stability of the world is unresolved. Renewable energy sources such as solar and wind energy have long been touted as a key part of this goal. But they are far from a perfect solution, because the sun does not always shine and the wind does not always blow. The battery has been proposed as a sol

California's 26-year plan to allow more people to install solar panels in their homes has been a great success, but state regulators may reduce people's power to use solar energy to reduce electricity bills for the rest of the residents. The most populous American state. Current incentives allow residential solar customers to sell any energy they don’t use back to the power company at retail electricity rates, which usually results in significant discounts on their energy bills. The future of the plan is called "net energy metering," which has sparked a heated debate between the state's major utility companies and the solar industry. The California Public Utilities Commission’s regulatory agency is responsible for overseeing the state’s major public utilities and the rates they can set, and is expected to issue reform proposals on Monday.
