Tariffs Threaten America’s Solar Energy Future

Douglas McIntyre, editor-in-chief of Climate Crisis, discusses how proposed tariffs of up to 25% on Chinese solar panel imports could significantly increase the cost of solar energy in the U.S. With China producing 80% of the world’s solar panels and their components, there are no viable alternative sources. This poses a serious challenge to America’s green energy ambitions, potentially slowing its transition to renewable energy and increasing costs for solar installations.
