Solar panels on our shed roof


I am so glad we bought our solar panels during the Obama administration.  The Trump administration seems determined not only to deny global warming, but also to accelerate it.  Trump has now put heavy tariffs on imported solar panels (ours were made in South Korea), which will raise the price considerably, thereby increasing the attractiveness of coal and oil and fracking gas as energy producers.

Analysts think that Individuals like me will probably continue to install solar panels even if they cost more.  The tariff will mostly affect large utilities that are building vast arrays of solar power generators.  Since far more people work in the solar industry than work in the coal industry, this will have a negative effect on the economy.  

MAGA?
