Get ready for higher cost solar panels. Are we willing to pay more (possibly significantly more) for panels that are made in the US?

Default Trump imposes 30 percent tariff on solar panel imports

India is planning a 70% import duty, maybe China should stop "dumping" their solar panels.

Of course, it means production jobs in the US. Those jobs will have workers paying taxes on their wages which will increase the tax base. And, keeping those dollars circulating in our community will help MAGA!

China sends in junk. Buy America!

And for many parts of the country, wind energy is booming where solar is not practical.

Why buying American is important:

To go along with the current tariffs it imposes on US products.

Americans make junk too. In fact, your fellow business owners have been whining for decades about being unable to find quality workers because Americans, as a whole, are too lazy and stupid. Which is why business owners have had to rely on international labor for all sorts of things since Ronald Reagan.

Would you really expect this admin to do anything at all to improve the environment? They are determined to set the US as far back as possible so that we will have to play catch-up with the world when it turns out the regressive policies aren't going to help the US compete. This whole protectionism thing is futile. It's been tried before--by Hoover.
