We can’t let stopping climate change get in the way of capitalism!

These go right against our goals to increase use of solar and EVs. ☹️

That's not how you ensure America leads the world in them. That's how you ensure corps feel safe not doing shit to innovate anymore. This is just another form of a bailout.

Wow, does that mean we are ramping up domestic production for these? No? Oh...

these actions already admit defeat

Interesting word choice. China wants to "dominate", the US wants to "lead".

The rest of the world will get cheaper solar panels and EVs, that's quite nice.

Also medical supplies, including masks, because COVID is Joever.

Edit to add: There is necessarily a lag between tariff imposition and indigenous production, and we’re left to fill that gap with our own wallets individually. Worse, the prices will almost definitely never come back down as they might in theory, because this is late-stage capitalism.

You want Amerikkka to lead maybe subsidize EVs as well?

Why can't we all win? (Ide rather bus/rail and walkable cities)

China is unfairly SUBSIDIZING green energy products. They must be stopped or DEMOCRACY will fall.

Well, we have targeted a few industries, particularly clean energy, electric vehicles, batteries, renewables, where we’re not trying to dominate the globe and be the only country in the world that supplies these goods.

I'm determined to ensure that america leads the world in them

Joe Biden

make up your mind ghouls

America can't compete with China and American corps cried for daddy.

For every voter who wants a habitable planet, a cheap electric car, or to catch covid less we lose, we're gonna pick up two moderate republicans!

Swiggity swooty the oil lobby is coming for your booty

Repeatedly stomping on my collection of rakes to own the commies

Their "determined to dominate"

Our "determined to ensure we lead the world"

remember when dems made fun of trump for "chi-na" stuff? good times

We should just be buying solar panels as cheap as we can, as fast we can who gives a fuck if they "dominate" the net positive is worth it

What a bell-end. Maybe instead of tariffs the US should begin vesting in education, job training, and research into these sectors so it can compete instead of trying to hobble the competition in the domestic market. This is just protectionism by a different name

This is the trumpiest shit ever.

Steel I get. That's an environmental issue since US creation is way more carbon friendly. However the rest makes no sense without an announcement in domestic investment that is pulled from currently used non-environmental budgets.

hell yea FUCK the environment lmao

No one in the US will dive into major production of such things without a more guaranteed long term tariff. Not something that may go away within 5 years time. Also, there isn't a snowballs chance in hell the US will be a world leader in solar production. We might dominate the US market.

If hes going to do that he should light a fire under the domestics asses to get our own evs up to snuff. And market competitive. None of that whining how it cannot be done either

Free market

Democracy

Freedom of choice

Innovation

Competition

What a fucking joke. Why are we expected to take these people seriously? Communism will win, Death to America.

It's ok.. the consumer will ultimately pay that tariff.

This dude really does not want to get reelected again. I hate that he's the only choice. What a piece of shit.
