[Trump is a hit in Davos despite his strong but stunningly accurate language calling out "shithole countries" which we here have abbreviated into a more decorous SHC. Now a correspondent informs that SHC should, perhaps, be made into the even more palatable TWN. TWN? why that's a "Turd-World Nation" of course. But now we can also examine the Europeans' reaction to Trump's next obvious truth that his administration will promote 'America First' policies, as if protesting Italy would put, say, France first. gjr]

“A momentum has started among conservative Evangelicals, and the Trump presidency has given renewed strength and support to a growing Christian resistance movement.

Found on Facebook. Author is Martin Webb, KVMR host on Energy Report and Cannabis Crusades. Enjoy.
Okay, folks. I’d like to chime in about this solar panel tariff thing. I’m seeing a LOT of anti-Trump social media sharing about this, and it is actually very much unwarranted.
As a 20-yr veteran of the solar industry, who owned and operated my own solar company for 12 of those years, and as a 13-yr veteran of hosting a monthly radio show called The Energy Report, I keep an EXTREMELY CLOSE EYE on these types of things, and have for a very long time. I’ve seen the ups and downs in solar from political interference, starting my career back when Bill Clinton was in office, and have been in the industry through multiple presidents and state governors, and understand the nuances of policy-making in regards to renewable energy and solar in particular.
I also, as a proud decline-to-state voter, would like to believe that when someone on the “right/conservative” side of things gets something totally wrong about a president, say Obama for example, that people close to them step up and correct the inaccurate lambasting, to tamp down the emotional hatred. I’d like to think the same is true for the “left/progressive” side. So I’m stepping in here to call bullshit on all this anti-Trump hysteria over this solar tariff and ask everyone to calm the f*ck down.
You wanna know the truth? Here’s the scoop:
*
*
*
– This tariff did not just come out of nowhere. Trump did not just wake up Monday and decide to raise the price of panels, hoping to harm renewable energy and/or the solar industry. It was not even his idea. He was basically forced into it, and he actually could’ve made things worse, or announced a tariff 2 months ago, if he really wanted to be churlish about it.
*
*
*
– No, it is not a major blow to renewable energy. And no, Time, it is not even the “biggest blow he’s dealt to the renewable energy industry.”
*
*
*
– No, it will not “kill” the solar industry, as other hysterical media outlets have claimed. We have made it through much worse, and come out fine. We will continue to do fine, especially those of us that have been in the industry long enough and know how to prepare for the vagaries of having an industry tied so closely to political whims that shift and blow.
*
*
*
– The job loss is unknown. The solar industry associations ran some numbers to show the worst-case scary scenario, in order to stop the tariff process that was unfolding over the past year, but I believe it won’t be as bad as they say.
*
*
*
– Yes, there will be solar projects that might have been on the cusp of economically panning out, that will not get built so soon, they may wait 4-5 years. However, for many, the economics of solar will still be fantastic. For example, just a few years ago, 51% of ALL the installed solar power in the entire country was located in just one utility company’s territory: PG&E of Northern CA. That’s where I do most of my work. Their prices are so freaking high, that even 15 years ago, when their rates were much lower and solar cost three times as much as today (it used to cost $9/W…now I sell systems for $3/W), that the economics even THEN made sense. Now that solar is so much cheaper and their rates have skyrocketed, even a tariff will not make it still a better choice…all of CA is like that, and CA is still the overwhelming leader in solar. We won’t be affected that greatly, we’ll just have a few less deals to close.
*
*
*
– The 30% tariff only applies to the wholesale cost of panels, and the panels are only part of the cost of installing solar. It’s not a 30% increase on the overall price of going solar. The real net impact to consumers is a price increase of around 5-10% for your system installation…likely a single digit net cost increase. But wait…theres more…
*
*
*
– The 30% federal tax credit is still in place and that gets rid of 30% of any price hike, so a $1,000 increase in contract price, is a net increase of $700, since your tax credit will go up by $300. A higher price means a higher tax credit. A 10% increase in contract price, means a 7% net increase due to the tax credit.
*
*
*
– Most importantly, we all knew this was coming in the solar industry, because all of this started early last year, when two majority-foreign-owned solar panel manufacturers that had factories in the US, were going out of business. One is called Suniva, a China-backed manufacturer with a factory in GA that filed for bankruptcy last year, and the other is called SolarWorld, a German-owned manufacturer with a factory in OR, whose German parent company filed for insolvency last year as well. Good riddance if you ask me. If you ask the rest of the industry, they both filed for insolvency because of poor mgmt, bad business practices, questionable production issues, etc. If you have a choice of installing SolarWorld panels, and there are still local companies selling them, just SAY NO! Their OR factory is still limping along and hasn’t completely closed…yet.
*
*
*
– When these two foreign-owned/foreign-backed companies went bankrupt last year, they decided to kick the rest of the industry in the balls as they went out the door, so they filed a very rare and unique trade case with a somewhat obscure US govt agency called the International Trade Commission (ITC), under a little known provision called Section 201. THAT started the whole process of where we are today. These two manufacturers claimed that the only reason they went out of business is because the price of solar panels was too cheap, and therefore the US govt should increase the price by adding a tariff to all panels that come into the US from outside our borders.
*
*
*
– Note: The ITC did an analysis and found that 95% of solar panels being installed in the US are imported, whether it’s from Canada, Mexico, Europe, Asia or wherever. So this would basically raise the price of virtually ALL panels in the US.
*
*
*
– After filing this rare trade case with the ITC, these two bankrupt companies triggered a very specific process that had to be followed by law, and then played out all last year:
*
*
*
– First, the ITC had to analyze the solar panel manufacturing market and decide if any harm was done to the US solar panel manufacturing industry as a result of non-US panel prices being so low. They didn’t have to decide whether it was unfair or just part of the global market, or even decide why…it could just be market forces…it’s cheaper to make panels elsewhere, so US factories closed, since no one wants to pay those made in the US prices. Everyone wants panels to be as cheap as possible, so overseas the factories went. It may not be unfair, it may just be business following the cheapest route. At any rate, we all knew that OF COURSE the ITC would be forced to conclude the the US solar panel manufacturing industry was harmed by low prices. There were multiple public hearings in DC about this all last summer, with both sides arguing their case…the entire solar industry on one side, arguing against tariffs, and these two bankrupt companies on the other side, begging for a price hike. (You didn’t hear about that in the news, did you? This is probably all new news to you NOW, but it’s been a year long process that had nothing to do with Trump and he had no involvement until now.)
*
*
*
– Once the ITC decided in Sept that yes, there was harm, then by law they were forced to come up with recommendations for how to “remedy the harm.” The ITC is made up of 4 commissioners, some Rs and some Ds. They had more public hearings about what the remedies should be. Suniva and SolarWorld still argued for huge tariffs, bigger than what was announced this week.
*
*
*
– In Nov, after much anticipation industrywide, the ITC finally released their recommendations to the president. The 4 commissioners couldn’t agree, but they all recommended lower tariffs than Suniva or SolarWorld. One R-commissioner said “add a govt-mandated 35% tariff price increase on all imported panels,” while another D-commissioner recommended no blanket tariffs on all imports and instead adopt a quota system, where imported panels were tariff-free up until a certain amount of total imports was hit, and then once that point was reached, tariffs would kick in. The two remaining commissioners actually did agree on a plan together, one was an R and one was a D, so they jointly recommended a 30% price hike. These 3 different recomms were given to the president in Nov.
*
*
*
– Now here’s where Trump comes in. Under the rules with this rare Section 201 ITC trade case, after the ITC gives their recomms to the president, he has sole authority to decide what to do…he can adopt one of the recomms, ignore all of them altogether and come up with something even higher and harsher, or he can ignore all the recomms and adopt something lesser. He could literally do whatever he wants. He has cart blanche to ignore everything they say and make up his own tariffs. Scary right? AND the Section 201 rules say he HAD until Jan 26th (this Friday) to decide. He’s given a hard deadline that’s out of his hands. It’s then in his court with the clock ticking.
*
*
*
– So we’ve been on pins and needles for 2 1/2 months. We worried Trump would decide right away after he rec’d the Nov recomms from the ITC, and not wait until the last minute of the deadline. I mean, if he wanted to really screw solar, he should’ve done it months ago, and not waited at all. He could’ve announced tariffs in Nov, or Dec, or anytime on the past two weeks to get the pain started ASAP…but he HAD to decide by Friday. In the end, he waited almost as long as possible and didn’t do the dick move and raise prices earlier.
*
*
*
– We also heard rumors he was going to ignore all recomms and decide on something even HARSHER…really threatening the price of solar. But in the end, he didn’t. And he perfectly well could have. He could’ve just up and said 2 months ago: “I’m going to add a 50% price hike tariff!” No. And he didn’t even adopt the harshest recomm from the R-commissioner (35% tariff). He adopted the middle ground, that was recommended jointly by an R and D pair of commissioners…30% tariff. And he waited until almost the last minute.
*
*
*
– So you see, he was forced to make a decision this week on this, as president, and he took the middle ground of recomms. He didn’t ask for this. He didn’t make it up out of thin air. Two shitty companies started the whole thing last year, and if he really wanted to screw us, he would’ve announced a worse tariff 2 months ago. Or a worse tariff on Monday. But he didn’t.
*
*
*
So cut it out. Blame Suniva and SolarWorld. Trump was put in an awkward position. He’s not killing the industry or RE. The tariffs go down 5% per year and end after 4 years, so next year they drop to a 25% tariff, then a 20% tariff, then a 15% tariff, then they disappear. I told you all to go solar already and stop waiting, but would you listen? Nooo! Note: some manufacturers are absorbing some or all of the tariff, so if you go SunPower for your home with the company I work for, CA Solar Electric Co, there is no price hike, and you get the best panels in the world, made by a CA-based US company with a factory in Mexico (a world-class factory that wins awards for cleanliness, water re-use, zero-waste, and good treatment of workers).
*
*

Most of the reporting on this is anti-Trump hyperbole. Trump didn’t wake up and decide to mess with solar. This is the end of a year long process that we all knew was coming. Wow, can’t believe I’m defending Trump. He’s mostly been a policy disaster, but this isn’t one of his. I’m glad he waited, it helped me give better pricing to a real estate office in Sacramento, and the Chicago Park Fire Dept, both of who were my last contracts before his announcement. So the truth needs to be heard, and everyone needs to adopt more integrity around this issue. Thanks for listening.
That’s all I have.
Why the hell are you reading this far?

Fish – turn the tables and a group of non whites starting harassing blue eyed blondes and demanding to know if they were here legally, perhaps had over stayed their visas? Would you change your tune. Oh well, of course you would but you would never admit it.

re: Saint Paul: ““I’m indigenous to these lands,” Rep. Descheenie said.”
He might try telling that to the Hopi, but I honestly don’t see the problem in asking a state legislator whether they are for or against national borders.
It tends to simplify matters when the argument breaks out.
It’s as laughable as the concept of the Lakota springing forth from the ground in the area they now live rather than being a form of expansionist power in their day.

Something very similar happened during Trump Rally’s leading up to the election…..no outcry, no calls for civility from Mr. Indignant! This is merely the most recent shiny object to catch Punchies eye and start the old feeb on another of his endlessly embarrassing rants trying to link bad behavior in a small group of people to Trump.
So my question stands….rude behavior of Arizonans notwithstanding does he favor illegal immigration and an uncontrolled border?

“This is merely the most recent shiny object to catch Punchies eye”
I can’t say that it takes much work. You get a little bored at the KVMR news complex (or the spare bedroom), break out the ol’ fifi from the dresser drawer and look at one of the outrage porn sites.
Share here. Everyone responds. The feed clogs up with BS. Wash, rinse, repeat.
If someone wanted to argue, I’d vastly prefer something involving healthcare or immigration law details, but there’s so little intellectual horsepower on the ground from the Green Libertarians that I’ve given up hope on that.
In the meantime, check out the small civil war that is going on at Google. Three sides. A bunch of crazy SJW’s, (probably) a few silent conservatives, and management that just wants everyone to shut up and go to work. No doubt there’s some Milo, Vox Day, plus the odd, side-taking magazine article.

Maga- Outrage porn. Never heard the term before, but the second I read your link I instantly thought of a certain female (with some qualifications) member of the NC Council who is “outraged” at about anything she doesn’t agree with and if you don’t share her outrage you are simply one of the sheeple. I went to Wikipedia to look up what outrage porn really meant and lo and behold, she could have had her picture there.

Paul is all worried about the FBI. I guess he missed the news
how the FBI obstructed justice in the Rancher Bundy trial.

And more lies. “The investigation also found that an FBI agent at the scene failed to disclose that he fired two rounds that missed Finicum. The agent, W. Joseph Astarita, has pleaded not guilty to federal charges of making false statements and obstruction of justice. He is listed as a defendant in the lawsuit.”
“The wrongful-death lawsuit filed in Portland on the second anniversary of Robert “LaVoy” Finicum’s death seeks at least $5 million in damages for his widow and each of their 12 children. The United States is listed as a defendant, along with the FBI, Oregon State Police, Gov. Kate Brown and others.”
And Paul is taking the side of the FBI?????

Didn’t read Archie’s comment besides skimming a few random paragraphs. Seems to me the short answer is the Chicoms are dumping Chinese subsidized solar panels on our shores cheaper than it costs them to make. Unfair.
Trump slapped the Chicoms to protect American solar panel manufactures and American jobs. And it the Chinese make some panels in Mexico or Vietnam, those solar panels will met President Trump’s faceslap as well. It’s all because Trump supports domestic green jobs. He took great political risk and none of the Greenies nor loose lid Lefties didn’t even say, “Thank you Mr. President. That was awesome.”
