The Issue of Solar Tariffs Is Complex; Oversimplifying It Is Dangerous - Morning Consult
There has been a spike in calls for President-elect Joe Biden to lift the existing Section 201 tariffs on solar modules by executive order. The narrative implies that jobs, the clean energy transition and fight against climate change are at stake.
Mark Widmar, chief executive of the nation's largest solar module manufacturer, First Solar, weighs in on the topic of solar tariffs. He poses an interesting question: Why should we allow ourselves to become entirely dependent on an adversarial nation for the solar technology that generates that electricity?
