US manufacturing is back! We were recently invited to a ceremony to celebrate the expansion of Nextracker’s dedicated steel torque tube manufacturing lines at JM Steel’s Leetsdale facility in Pittsburgh. This historic site, formerly Bethlehem Steel(the company that produced the landing craft for Normandy during World War II) now manufactures low-carbon steel tubes for solar trackers. Among the many dignitaries present at the event were 3 people on Nico’s yet-to-be-interviewed bucket list, so he got the chance to get some genuine reaction commentary and excellent b-roll of the factory line up-and-running (see our Youtube video for that!)You’ll hear from these 3 pioneering solar warriors in today’s episode:Yuri Horowitz, CEO of Sol Systems, David Crane, DOE Undersecretary for Infrastructure, and Kelly Speakes-Backman, Executive VP, Public Affairs at Invenergy  Each has an interesting perspective to offer on how the solar industry is reshoring manufacturing.
