BRUSSELS — Fearing a devastating business exodus across the Atlantic Ocean, the European Commission on Wednesday unveiled new plans to boost the European Union’s homegrown green industry and counter the generous tax credits and rebates of Joe Biden’s $369-billion Inflation Reduction Act.The plans are an intricate combination of simpler rules for subsidies, re-purposed EU funds, faster permitting for renewable projects, common production targets, trade deals and upskilling which, put together, are meant to strengthen the bloc’s attractiveness for investment and manufacturing.The ultimate goal is to keep European companies in Europe and prevent the continent’s leading green innovators from fleeing abroad in search of greater commercial prospects.“In the fight against climate...
