Common Dreams has the article ‘Reckless’: Trump Deals Blow to Renewable Transition With Solar Panel Tariff.

Dealing a serious blow to the U.S. solar industry and despite protests from experts and a national trade group, President Donald Trump has approved a 30 percent tariff on imported solar panel materials.

Responding to recommendations from the U.S. International Trade Commission, which was lobbied by two foreign-owned U.S.-based companies that argued they couldn’t compete with cheap materials from Asia, Trump on Monday authorized a 30 percent tariff on solar cells and modules that will drop by 5 percent annually over the next four years.

Just to add a little more fodder to the discussion.
