That's BS! Here is an opportunity for American manufacturing to get back in the game with a growing industry. This move is long overdue.

Those tariffs are temporary. They phase out in four years. That's not going to induce any manufacturers to commit to long-term production. This move is just a pay off to fossil fuel companies. Also are we ready for China's response? What if they dump several trillion in US debt?
-
Solar panels are not complex or particularly difficult to produce. 4 years is a sufficient time frame to establish a good foothold. China? That is how we gauge our future? What will China do?
-
The two "US" manufacturers, Suniva and Solarworld, who complained aren't even US companies. They're subsidiaries of a Chinese and of a German company. Why should we put 20,000 installers out of work and increase the cost of solar to subsidize them & risk a trade war?
-
I suspect many companies would be willing to get into this market. Roofing, look at what Musk has done with solar shingles. This is an opportunity. Fossil fuel? I don't disagree, I see this being lemonade out of lemons.

In a climate of automation to increase productivity and reduce cost, it is foolish to think company's will hire jobs that require manual labor

Tariffs are a tax to the middle class to replace lost revenue due to tax cut to the Trump family. Talk about Robin Hood.
