The U.S. must swiftly combat climate change while ridding the solar supply chain of forced labor, according to Georgia Senator Jon Ossoff. His solution: boosting domestic manufacturing.

“We have to act on climate now. We have to act against slave labor now,” said Ossoff, a Democrat, in an interview Thursday. “We’re hugely reliant upon Chinese supply chains tainted by Uyghur forced labor to produce this solar-energy production capacity.”
