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....

"Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel."
I remember a few years ago, when Canadians complained about higher prices in Canada for used cars than used cars cost in the States.
A government spokesman came out and said--actual quote I remember it so well-- "We are protecting Canadians from those low American prices."
Well, thanks a lot!
(He did not go on to explain just which Canadians the government was protecting, instead of car buyers.)
At the moment, that same government is making sure we pay $2 for a jug of milk that Americans pay $1 for. Why is that? Is there something wrong with our cows? Nope. It is the dairy farmers' organization that has a grip on the politicians, who don't care what we have to pay for milk as long as they get money from the dairy farmers to help with getting elected again.
It seems like the Americans might even save us from that in the current round of NAFTA negotiations, but I am not holding my breath.
Meanwhile, American home buyers are getting screwed because their Grateful Government is making them pay extra for 2 by 4s from Canada.
It is all so ridiculous, but there is not much we can do about it. Just go camping in your RV and pretend nothing is happening. :)
