- nine_k 10y agoOK, let's require that the renewable tech is only allowed if made on the US soil? Anything less wholesale.

- the8472 10y agoEven if we accepted that kind of reasoning, it is not applicable to wind, because shipping is really problematic due to their ever-increasing sizes, so they're usually produced locally.
- pjc50 10y agoWhy ignore renewables that are being subsidised by another country?
- cloakandswagger 10y agoThere's a reason anti-dumping laws exist.
- thephyber 10y agoLogical fallacy. Solar panels are not the only form of renewable that are hurt by this rent-seeking legislation. And I honestly don't even care if solar panels are created elsewhere for cheaper than market rates. That means the utility would be able to supply Wyoming energy subsidized by Chinese tax payers. Eventually China will have to deal with their own tax deficits. They have already started to cancel coal power plant projects[1].
