Carter era solar power clash spills into policy debate
Washington reports an intense internal struggle within the Carter administration over how deeply the federal government should commit to solar energy as a 21st century power source. A Domestic Policy Review on Solar Energy has become the battleground as factions disagree on the scope and character of federal support, with signals shifting from deep budget cuts to high-profile public endorsements. The conflict is expected to surface publicly before year’s end, as group members press for a clear solar strategy amid competing pressures and political messaging.
