Link Logistics and Reactivate Announce Partnership to Install Solar Panels Across Link Properties
Luke J. Petherbridge, chief executive officer, Link Logistics, said, 'This collaboration furthers Link's leadership and uses our millions of square feet of rooftop space for the benefit of the communities where we operate. Reactivate brings the right leadership team, trusted community partnerships and extensive expertise to provide solar energy at scale.'
The Reactivate owned-and-operated solar energy projects on Link Logistics assets will help address the growing demand for power by adding power back to the grid, while fostering meaningful economic impacts in local communities.
This portfolio will aim to provide energy-saving opportunities for individual households, non-profits, public institutions and businesses across the country. Reactivate intends to provide workforce training opportunities for individuals in communities where projects are located to further skill development and provide a pathway to solar energy careers with family sustaining wages. The solar energy projects will also provide economic opportunities for local contractors and equipment suppliers.
'This partnership speaks to our focus on driving value to our real estate and powering the warehouse operations of tomorrow,' said Sam Stockdale, managing director, Energy and Sustainability, Link Logistics. 'By joining forces with Reactivate, we will accelerate and scale the deployment of solar energy solutions.'
According to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), large buildings, such as warehouses, have solar potential for over 185.6 terawatt-hours. That is equivalent to powering over 19 million American homes.
'As we continue to see high energy costs across the country, we seek to provide economic savings to all with sustainable energy solutions. Using rooftop assets for distributed solar energy projects puts more generation closer to the load centers and helps further the goals of a resilient and reliable grid,' said Utopia Hill, Reactivate CEO. 'We are honored Link Logistics has selected Reactivate as their trusted partner to optimize the use of their vast real estate portfolio. This opportunity will further support Reactivate's 2030 goal of deploying over 3GW of solar energy that is accessible to all.'

Augusta-based golf cart companies applaud tariffs applied to Chinese products
The world's top two golf cart manufacturers, both headquartered in Augusta, Georgia, are cheering a decision they say will help battle Chinese trade practices considered oppressive and unfair. The nonpartisan U.S. International Trade Commission has announced that Textron Specialized Vehicles Inc. and Club Car LLC, and their domestic competitors, "have been materially injured by unfairly traded imports" of low-speed personal vehicles from China. The announcement underscores Commerce's stated commitment in June to impose antidumping tariffs of between 119 percent and 478 percent, and countervailing tariffs at rates between 31 percent and 679 percent. As The Augusta Chronicle first reported in December 2024, the U.S. Department of Commerce concluded that China's government has engaged in antidumping and countervailing activities undercutting domestic vehicle makers. Antidumping is when foreign manufacturers sell goods at less-than-fair value. Countervailing is when a foreign government subsidizes manufacturers to enable them to sell goods cheaply. The ITC's decision "will help to protect the health of a uniquely American industry and the livelihoods of thousands of American workers who build golf cars, low-speed vehicles, and personal-transportation vehicles to serve customers around the world," said Rob Scholl, president and CEO of Textron Specialized Vehicles. "This final determination from the U.S. International Trade Commission is a clear win for fair competition and the thousands of American jobs that power our industry," said Craig Scanlon, president and CEO of Club Car. Law firm Wiley Rein counseled an advocacy group called the American Personal Transportation Vehicle Manufacturers Coalition through its filings of several unfair-trade protests. Wiley Rein announced the ITC's decision on July 17.

Trump threatens 250pc tariffs on drug imports
Donald Trump has threatened to impose tariffs of up to 250pc on pharmaceutical imports in a major threat to one of Britain's key sectors. The US president, who has already warned global drugmakers to lower their domestic prices in the US, said he would be announcing tariffs for the industry 'within the next week or so'. Such a move could be damaging for the UK, which counts pharma giants AstraZeneca and GSK as two of its largest companies and employs 73,000 people in the sector overall. Britain has signed a trade agreement with the US but the pharmaceutical tariffs are expected to be outside the scope of the agreement, increasing the risk. 'We'll be putting an initially small tariff on pharmaceuticals but in one year, one and a half years maximum it's going to go to 150pc and then it's going to go to 250pc,' Mr Trump said in a US television interview on Tuesday. The president added that he would impose tariffs on pharmaceutical imports to the US 'because we want pharmaceuticals made in our country'. It marks a fresh threat to the industry, which is awaiting the outcome of an investigation by the US commerce department into the impact of imports on American national security. The US president said the tariffs on pharmaceutical imports would be 'a separate class' to a string of tariff deals announced in recent weeks, adding: 'These are excluded class, as I call them ... like steel, aluminium, etc.' Mr Trump has repeatedly made threats to impose various levels of tariffs on the industry before changing course. His latest comments on trade levies come just days before his latest tariff deadline on goods entering the US comes into effect on Aug 7. The president was also critical of India after the country's foreign ministry accused the US and the EU of double standards on buying Russian oil. The US is due to impose 25pc tariffs on imports from India but Trump threatened to lift this further in his latest escalation. 'We settled on 25pc but I think I'm going to raise that very substantially over the next 24 hours because they are buying Russian oil, they are fuelling the war machine, and if they're going do that I'm not going to be happy,' he said, adding that India had 'not been a good trading partner'. 'The sticking point with India is that tariffs are too high ... They will give us zero tariffs and they're going to let us go in but that's not good enough because of what they are doing with oil.' Mr Trump also renewed his attacks on Jerome Powell, the chairman of the Federal Reserve, and repeated his calls for the central bank to cut interest rates. 'Jay Powell is highly political and I call him ... Too Late Jerome, Too Late Powell,' he said. Mr Trump added that Scott Bessent, the US treasury secretary, 'does not want' to be chairman of the Federal Reserve but said that there were four others in the running for the position. Mr Powell's term as chairman of the Federal Reserve ends in May 2026. Broaden your horizons with award-winning British journalism.
