Trump signs solar panel tariff, angering U.S. installers

The U.S. solar industry employs more than 260,000 workers - about five times more than the coal industry. About 14 percent of those 260,000 jobs are in manufacturing, with installers making up most of the rest of the industry.

installers are the bulk of the industry. the tariffs hurts the installers, thus it hurts more american workers.

(Reuters) - Struggling U.S. solar panel makers on Wednesday made a final plea to President Donald Trump's key trade policy advisers to support steep tariffs on foreign-made solar products, ahead of his imminent decision in a closely watched trade case.

Suniva and SolarWorld, which say an influx of cheap solar panel imports from China have made them unable to compete, appealed to the Trade Policy Staff Committee to recommend stiffer measures than proposed by members of the bipartisan International Trade Commission (ITC) in October.

This is from October


It’s the same thing I said about steel. These are NOT outdated careers and the workers are not stupid . This is someone from the opposite side of the world putting OUR people out of work because they’re decision to pay workers pennies .

IMO we should end all trade with China and show them what a bomb look like .

A new tariff on imported solar panels could cost the US 23,000 jobs in the next year alone.


Trump just dealt a major blow to the fastest-growing job market in the US
New tariffs on imported solar panels are meant to help US producers. But the installation industry, which is much bigger, will suffer.

Trump’s solar tariff backfires: It hits red states and U.S. taxpayers harder than China
"Southern states like Texas, Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina among the most impacted."

The world works with global value chains now, the mercantilist theories underpinning use of tariffs were based on accumulating gold and funding Government expenditure. It was easier in the era of a few industrialized countries and every part of the value chain from start to finish was in one country. These days companies are networked and technological improvements can also lead to switching like how Detroit embraced aluminum in production of cars and reducing steel. The fact that the entire steel industry has 50K employees says it all.
