How many US veterans in the solar industry will now lose their jobs as a result of today’s protectionist trade decision? #AllOfTheAboveJobs @EnergyTradeAC
"Today the Trump administration, I imagine, will mention this decision is cracking down on China. This is a mistake. Only 10% of solar imports come from China"- @clark_packard on Section 201 #solar trade case.
At @Heritage panel @clark_packard claims: "1 in 50 jobs created in the U.S. in 2015 were related to solar products. These are the type of jobs the President said he would protect".
At @Heritage event, @torikwhiting states previous Section 201 decisions "cause serious damage to other sectors and firms of the U.S. economy".

Read our statement in response to President Trump's decision on Section 201 #solar tariffs here: "Let’s be clear: Raising the prices of an industry’s most basic inputs by imposing tariffs will do nothing to help that industry prosper."

Innovation, competitiveness, and a healthy job market are just the Top 3 of many reasons why President Trump should avoid #solar tariffs. Check out the full article from Katie Tubb of @Heritage in @DailySignal dailysignal.com/2018/01/21/3…
Fake news in the 201 petition is that U.S. solar companies shut down because of imports. Fact: solar manufacturing is strong with more than 500 solar manufacturing operating across the US. energytradeaction.org/etac-s…
ICYMI: @latimes editorial board on solar tariffs: " If Trump does impose tariffs that raise the price of solar panels and modules, the penalty will ultimately be paid by Americans who convert to solar power". beta.latimes.com/opinion/edi…
Value of Chinese solar exports to the U.S. fell from 57% of U.S. imports in 2011 to 11% in 2017. Section 201 tariffs would not impact the Chinese solar market and only hurt hardworking Americans and the U.S. solar industry. energytradeaction.org/etac-s…
SEIA CEO and President @HopperAbby asks the President to "consider the real impact on American jobs and our economy" and to #SaveSolarJobs. Read the full statement: energytradeaction.org/news/2…
