Solar Panels Trumpeting A Heads Up

From what I have read, the tariffs are illegal under our international agreements, and will be kicked out. They are just pretend.

Which is good news, considering that solar employs more people then coal, oil, and gas in this country.

Probably should find better reading resources. Tariffs are absolutely allowed under international law. And to say that solar employs more than oil, coal and gas is creative accounting at best. The source I am sure you are quoting is the solar institute, which determined there are around 370,000 people employed in the entire solar industry versus 180,000 that work directly for fossil fueled power plants. Their numbers include the people employed in the fabrication, distribution, installation of solar systems, but doesn't include people employed to manufacture, service, transport fuels, refine fuels, drill or mine those fuels etc. for the fossil fueled power plants. Might just as well say that Tesla employs more retail sales people (Telsa sale centers are staffed by Tesla employees) than all the other auto manufacturers combined (since their sales are conducted by independently owned franchised dealers whose employees are not considered employees of GM, Ford, Toyota etc.). It may be technically a true statement, but seriously misleading.
