Tariffs On Solar Panel Imports Announced
But implementation date not firm...but it will be soon. Please. No political comments which do not do a damned bit of good. 25% price increase on a thousand dollars of panels is not chickenfeed....

We can't out compete every other country on every product. We have a world economy and should export what we are good at. Let the market decide. We have never been competitive in solar panel manufacturing compared to the Chinese.
Once you start tariff wars, it just guarantees that costs to consumers are going up.
Yup, you are exactly right. It’s called the “unique competitive advantage” of nations.
Germany is the best model. They cannot compete anymore in cheap widgets, so they focus on high quality precision items. They design their educational system in parallel tracks of college bound engineers and skills based trades.
We can do the same in high technology and alternative fuel except the political leadership wants to pander to the vote rich extractive and carbon-based sunsetting industries.
