Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 18:54:06 GMT

STRASBOURG — The race to control the technology of tomorrow is on, and Europe is desperately playing catch-up. The European Parliament on Tuesday passed the Net-Zero Industry Act, a bill to encourage more technology like solar cells and wind turbines to be made in the EU. Lawmakers hailed the result as a mighty signal of Europe’s intent to keep pace with global powers like the U.S. and China, which are both throwing money at green technology manufacturers.

But the EU faces tough global competition and a late break from the starting blocks. The U.S. has already approved $369 billion in incentiv...
