We shouldn't even be importing solar cells, we should be producing them along with wind turbines, but instead let's open all of our coasts for oil drilling and dig up some of that good ol American cleaning burning coal. At least We won't see the sinkholes with breathing masks on
-
Don’t forget they took the Florida coast off the list.

Maybe Mar a lago will fall in a sinkhole, wouldn't that be something

I hope Americans realize that 45 is gutting this country. Tariffs on products that we need and want, especially solar, its a money saver on LI. Companies aren't creating anything in the US, product or jobs either. How is this making us great? NOT!!

His departure will unleash a plethora of pent-up environmental solutions.

Maytag is out of business, they started making crappy products. Does he think this will bring them back, it won't. he doesn't want solar here in America. he wants oil and coal.....Russia has major investments in oil, hoping to be drilling in the arctic regions here. Deal made

The Chinese government subsidizes solar companies. Set winners and does it openly. This is one thing the USA should have done long before Trump showed up in the picture.
-
So? We get cheaper and better products at the expense of the Chinese taxpayer. Their loss, not ours. It's essentially a form of philanthropy from Chinese govt
-
Not really. We get cheaper goods in the short term that will diminish solar energy innovations at home for future generations to come. Obama tried by the way. How can this be good other than letting the Chinese dominate crucial technology?
-
Who cares if China "dominates" the solar sector? Would Chinese competition not incentivise US solar innovation? The use of tariffs goes entirely against the GOP's once highly held values of the power of the free market.

This is the precurser to the crash! Be pepared!

Good, level the playing field for American Business! These products are being made with cheap labor, materials, and at a staggering volume! Report all facts please.
-
Um, are any washing machines made in the US? If not, this just raises price for consumers.
-
Of course. Most of the larger appliance companies ARE US built.
-
Can to please support this with facts? My research shows otherwise.

We are also the 3rd largest exporter in the world. Behind China & the EU. We could export much more. That is what our focus should be. Not getting in a trade war with China & the world. Solar is the future. We can build it better. Oil & Gas will be a dinasour soon.
-
If not for massive subsidization, solar power would be economically unfeasible.

China will create 13 Million Jobs from 2016-2020 investing in renewable energy. The tariff on renewables yesterday will result in 23,000 people losing their jobs in the US.http://www.renewableenergyworld.com/articles/2017/01/china-is-leaving-the-us-behind-on-clean-energy-investment.html …
