Taxing solar panels and washing machines
So, should we expect anything else from the former Exxon CEO Rex Tillerson who's now Secretary of State?
Care2Action Petition to stop Tariff on solar panels ! [thepetitionsite.com]
Let the tariff wars begin. This is on imported panels. My question is what kind of rebate program will apply for domestic panels. When I installed solar panels the ones built locally got a much higher rebate than the foreign ones. Of course they were also more expensive but the rebate was supposed to pay for the full price (over a 6 year period).
Such a horrible move from such a horrible man.
How many companies make solar panels in the USA? I only know of one that is First Solar FSLR the stock was down today approximately $0.55 cents.
There is a big factory in central Washington state. That is where mine came from.
Trump is a friend of the coal industry.

And washing machines.
Why washing machines? Is there a reason they are different from dryers, dishwashers and other appliances? I haven't hear that part explained and it just seems so random..
The newer ones like Bosch are made elsewhere than the U.S. I guess we don't make them here anymore . . . ?
Well... China makes them cheap. There goes the price.
