Investment in the United States for investment stumbles with the accumulation of clean technology abolition operations

More clean technology manufacturing investments in the United States have been canceled in the second quarter of what was announced, according to New study From the Rhodium collection and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Companies have canceled $ 5 billion, while only $ 4 billion of new investments were announced.

Actual clean technology manufacturing investments, not only ads, also decreased by 15 %.

The withdrawal comes in the wake of The Republican Party reconciliation billWhich has wiped the main parts of the Law of Inflation, which is the legislation of the tide wave of manufacturing investments in the United States. The last quarter is ranked second after the first quarter of this year, as investments of $ 7 billion have been canceled.
