Trump Just Set a Tariff on Solar Panels So High That Your Eyebrows May Raise Involuntarily

Quick Summary:

"If this self-inflicted and unnecessary market uncertainty continues, we’ll almost certainly see more projects paused, more construction halted, and more job opportunities disappear," explained Michael Timberlake, the communications director for the clean energy group E2, in a statement.

As the Houston Chronicle reports, renewable energy developers in the blood-red state of Texas have been plagued by uncertainty as their production timelines have been repeatedly stymied by the "wait-and-see" nature of Trump's tariffs.

While it's not exactly clear why the Biden administration didn't take swifter action on those allegations, this seeming overcorrect under Donald Trump serves as a stark reminder of the state of play in his foolish trade war with China — and how starkly against clean energy this president remains.
