The Trump administration has officially celebrated the opening of a new solar factory in Texas, an event commentators describe as surprising given the administration's general hostility toward renewable energy. The facility involves polysilicon production and is expected to create solar industry jobs, prompting discussion about US energy policy and whether federal support for solar is softening despite political rhetoric.
Why now: The apparent contrast between the administration's anti-renewable stance and its celebration of a solar factory is seen as striking.
