It will certainly impact American solar manufacturing, which many people would see as worthwhile.
- cma 9y agoMost solar jobs are in solar install, which it will impact adversely. Solar manufacturing will see an increase, but it is mostly capital, not labor, intensive. It could still make sense but I haven't seen a lot of the full rationale.
- thephyber 9y agoAnd it's likely to inversely impact US solar installations as it raises the price to install them in the USA. Also note that unless this is done within the WTO framework, it is likely to start/escalate (depending on your interpretation of previous events) a "trade war" (arms race of tariffs) which ultimately hurts the US consumer.
