Red states will be the real losers from Trump’s solar tariff | TheHill
'Other solar states in the Midwest such as Wisconsin and Michigan will be hurt as well — states that were critical to Trump’s election. '
'On jobs, the Solar Energy Industry Association (SEIA) expects a reduction of 23,000 — a loss of approximately 9 percent of the American 260,000 solar jobs. '
'Finally, people and businesses all across the country will no longer have the opportunity to capture the energy savings low cost solar provides. '
'What makes this all so nonsensical is that these solar tariffs won’t lead to any significant increase in U.S. solar cell manufacturing. '
'It’s simple math: Tariffs increase solar costs, higher costs mean less solar, and less solar means fewer jobs, lower investment, and reduced energy choice. '

Blue states will lose out more due to lowered productivity from tree huggers crying 24/7.

Nah, we don’t give a fuck. We prefer power that can be generated 24/7.
