Funny, Liberals complain that solar panels will cost hundreds of dollars more and under the same breath say $2500 is chicken feed. LMAO The hypocrisy is SWOLE!

I been in the Photovoltaics business for 20 years and made a VERY successful career out of it. My business partner is one of the TOP solar guru's here in America, and let me tell you, that China stuff is pure junk compared to what we can produce here in America.

Sorry dropping a phone does not damage the chips. You can crash an airplane and it does not damage the chips. What you may well do is destroy the display or disconnect things or break off pieces. That is all designer problems.

Not suggesting the Chinese make great quality. They don't. But then again it is virtually impossible to make low quality semiconductors that work. Fact of life..

Furthermore anybody that expects US companies to have to operate under environmental laws here in the US and will turn a blind eye to issue in China so they can get cheap goods is nothing but a giant hypocrite.
China will happen and we will stay the USA. We are in no position to tell China how to govern themselves. We produce what we can and want, and import other things from other countries if it suits us. I don't see the USA becoming some protectionist island, Donald or no Donald.

I see nothing hypocritical about us wanting clean and and water here. Let China do what they want with their environment.

people always have the choice to purchase chinese or american based on their own criteria i.e. price vs quality
No tariffs needed.

Gov. of SC has a problem. Samsung had opened a plant and now it may not stay open.

I understand it had 600 employees.

It's about time we had a leader put the Chinese in their place. They have been dumping cheap government subsidized solar crap into our market for a while. 30% is not huge but it sends a message.

Yup

Gov. McMaster had traveled repeatedly to Washington, D.C., to lobby against the tariffs, telling the International Trade Commission last fall that Samsung is becoming a domestic industry. A spokesman said the governor is “obviously disappointed” and would continue to fight for South Carolina jobs.

Lets see how the people of SC react if some good paying jobs go away because the POTUS wants to show how tough he is.
