Biden to exempt tariffs on solar panels from Southeast Asian countries for 24 months -source
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] U.S. President Joe Biden will issue a proclamation on Monday that will allow solar panels to be imported to the United States from Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia and Vietnam without risk of tariffs for a 24-month period, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters.

The action comes amid concern about the impact of the U.S. Commerce Department's months-long investigation into whether imports of solar panels from the four Southeast Asian nations are circumventing tariffs on goods made in China.
We’ll assume that’s a yes, then. Goody.

#3 Obviously a nod to his 'Chardonnay' voting crowd. You think the people now being hit by high energy bills could afford these, just like that 60K electric car.

#6 ^ It is the exact opposite of the "give you the razor and sell you the blades" model. Not that I want to give them any ideas...

#7 Now the Chinese can export their solar panels duty free via Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia and Vietnam without risk of tariffs for a 24-month period.

Thanks Brandon!

#8 A search finds 9 U.S. companies that make solar panels. Want to bet the Asian companies undercut their price?
