Democrats and Republicans agree that the United States must end its dependence on China for clean energy components. But both parties say the other side isn’t tough enough on Beijing and their proposed strategies aren’t helping the US become the world's dominant clean energy economy.

Plus, the Department of Transportation is proposing a new rule cracking down on natural gas pipeline leaks.
