The United States Mint announced on September 2 that it will begin selling a $1 coin featuring the image of Donald Trump. ^[1] Donald Trump issued 22 executive orders related to science, technology, artificial intelligence, semiconductors, and space travel. ^[2] Quality concerns, supply chain diversification, domestic content rules, and emissions reduction requirements have frame manufacturers in the United States evaluating steel as an alternative to aluminum. ^[3] In 2025, the United States recycled approximately 45 million tons of paper. ^[4] Sales of the new $1 coin are scheduled to commence on Wednesday, September 2. ^[5] The commemorative $1 coin with Donald Trump's image is being issued as part of the celebrations for the 250th anniversary of the United States. ^[6] The executive orders specifically target the leadership of the United States in semiconductors. ^[7] During the past 10 years, module frames have seen relatively little innovation and remain a simple piece of formed aluminum. ^[8] Solar cells, encapsulants, glass, backsheets, and virtually every PV module component have seen rapid changes and improvements over the past 10 years. ^[9] Chili cook-offs are already taking place across the United States in September, occurring before the traditional fall season begins. ^[10] As of 2025, the industry recycles nearly 60% more paper than it did in 1990. ^[11] In 2025, the U.S. paper recycling rate was between 61% and 65%, and the cardboard recycling rate was between 70% and 75%. ^[12]
