The US Commerce Department has announced plans to impose tariffs of up to 3,521% on imports of solar panels from four South East Asian countries.
It comes after an investigation that began a year ago when several major solar equipment producers asked the administration of then-President Joe Biden to protect their US operations.
Solar panels got tariffed by Biden a couple month before trump took office.
I believe it was because they determined that Vietnam was dumping panels at below cost, which is deemed an unfair trade practice. I noticed this because I preemptively bought a couple panels before trump was inaugurated, and like a week after I did, the tariff was announced.
Tariffs, of course. Trump is doing the fossil fuel industry’s bidding trying to kill all renewables.
Sure but even with 100% tariffs it would still be cheaper to import.
