The Trump administration just approved tariffs of 30% on imported solar panels.

[TWIH]

Over on the "other" forum, the same post title brought mostly yawns. A few posters hurried up their Renogy orders, but several just said that the World Trade Organization would quash it if China objected, which I would presume they would do. Also if one read the whole article there was a phase in.

So I think it's more a "tempest in a teapot" than something that should overly alarm us. I for one would gladly pay more to get some solar panel industry back in the states, as opposed to everything being dependent on China, and the resulting loss of decent jobs and support for the products over here.

Makes for great clickbait headlines though.
