After a more than year-long investigation, federal officials have concluded that five Chinese solar panel companies have been skirting US tariff laws by routing their operations through four other Southeast Asian countries.
I thought the US loved the free market?
lol
My ass after fabricating market pressure in opposition to green energy: we’re driving green innovation like no other country
Good. Tariffs are stupid. They’re a tax on the people and only serve to slow adoption of green energy technologies.
US is trying to move it’s manufacturing to Mexico for geopolitical reasons in the short- to medium- term and economic reasons in the long-term. Tarrifs makes things from China more expensive, so investors/developers will be more likely to find other places that make them more money, like places that dont have tarrifs and are near by.
