He mined for seven years without any success at all, but did not let the often grueling physical labor discourage him. Intrigued and enticed by the news of the 1848 California gold rush, he waited until his sister was old enough to work and then in 1851 the 19 year-old made his way across the country to California. Those years presented a struggle to maintain housing and food for his mother, his sister and himself.

He hawked newspapers such as the New York Herald in Manhattan, and later was an apprentice in a shipyard. The better fortune the family sought in America was quickly dashed as Mackay’s father died, forcing the youngster to quit school at age eleven to go to work to support his mother and sister. In a Decemarticle in Irish Central, Niall O’Dowd wrote, “What are the odds that the richest ever Irishman would be born in a Dublin one-room hovel with a pig, his parents, and a sister for company?” Well, what are the odds that the richest Irish person ever and one of the richest persons in the world during his time was a person who stuttered?īorn in Dublin in 1831 into a working-class poor family, a young John Mackay immigrated to New York with his family in 1840, settling in the infamous Five Points slum in Manhattan.

TPI Composites Inc., which makes wind-turbine blades, rose as much as 38%.John Mackay ranks as the richest Irishman ever in history, as the $1 billion he possessed at the time of his death in 1902 is the equivalent of $80 billion today. Sunrun Inc., the largest US residential-solar installer, jumped as much as 34%, the most on record. The Manchin-Schumer deal helped renewable stocks to gains Thursday.

“We are heavily reliant upon imported solar products and the supply chain that China’s taken control over,” Ossoff said. Ossoff, whose election early last year helped give the Democrats a majority in the Senate, has been a supporter of solar manufacturing, particularly in his home state and said he is encouraged by what he’s seen in the bill so far, pointing out that solar technology is a matter of strategic interest. The plan also includes investment tax credits to build clean technology manufacturing plants that make electric vehicles, turbines and other products. These include production tax credits to accelerate manufacturing of solar panels, wind turbines, batteries, and critical minerals processing. The bill, which Democrats hope to pass next month using special budget rules, includes $60 billion of incentives to establish clean energy manufacturing in the US. Ossoff said he is still reviewing the legislation released Wednesday night. “But it is urgent that we accelerate the transition toward greater adoption of renewables and nuclear so we are not held hostage by petro states,” he added. “America needs a reliable supply of the energy sources that are dominant today,” Ossoff, a Georgia Democrat, said Thursday on Bloomberg Television’s “Balance of Power with David Westin.”
