    Oil and coal companies have Trump in their pockets. Can't have competiton out there. Can't have alternate resources of energy taking away their money. Who needs solar power anyway right? We shouldn't care about the damage we are doing to our planet or have alternate resources to clean up our act, to have in place so when the oil runs dry in 50 years we have something to fall back on.

    Charcoal briquettes will not give you skin cancer.

    The sun does.

    Putting these sun loving panels on your home only invites the cancer to rain down upon you.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    The science misunderstanding here is so sad. If you breath in charcoal briquettes (or eat them), that's very carcinogenic. Whereas, breathing in sunlight isn't carcinogenic.

    What do they teach in pupper schools, these days? Just a classic 1950s obedience curriculum?

    I wonder how @Denny Crane feels about this. Didn't he have solar panels installed on his house?

    No, he had coal-burning panels installed on his house. No climate change fear-mongering is going to chase him away from profitable coal power.

    Solar panels are a scam started by big pharma and big sun.

    “SolarWorld Americas appreciates the hard work of President Trump, the U.S. Trade Representative, and this administration in reaching today’s decision, and the President’s recognition of the importance of solar manufacturing to America’s economic and national security. We are still reviewing these remedies, and are hopeful they will be enough to address the import surge and to rebuild solar manufacturing in the United States. We will work with the U.S. Government to implement these remedies, including future negotiations, in the strongest way possible to benefit solar manufacturing and its thousands of American workers to ensure that U.S. solar manufacturing is world-class competitive for the long term.”

    ^^^^^^ Hmmm, someone finally posted some actual info. I read a BBC article immediately after reading Dviss1 post because I actually was curious about actually learning the truth. Isn't that odd.

    I actually was amused by the Trump jokes.

    I'm seriously trying not to troll on this one, even though the dude has some serious Trump hate going on...

    What is bad about having to buy American-made solar panels? Or, if they suck that badly, isn't the tariff (can be considered "business tax" going to gov't) kind of what the D's were railing against the repeal of about, I don't, 2 weeks ago?

    What am I missing?

    It's kind of interesting that the two solar companies who wanted this tariff are owned by Germans and Chinese.

    Not following you, what were the D's against the repeal of? Maybe I missed something in the news...

    To the broader point, though, why not have 1000% tariffs on everything, if tariffs are such a good idea?
