The U.S. solar industry has been one of the fastest-growing sources of electricity, but a new forecast out this week warns that momentum could slow as Trump-era policies and Republican tax changes take effect. POLITICO’s Kelsey Tamborrino breaks down how the solar industry’s outlook is at risk in the near future and what it all means for America’s power grid. Plus, the House Natural Resources Committee is holding a hearing  tomorrow to review three bipartisan permitting proposals.
