How many US veterans in the solar industry will now lose their jobs as a result of today’s protectionist trade decision? #AllOfTheAboveJobs@EnergyTradeAC
"The administration probably felt that this was a way to show they are tough on imports. However, they will find out there are more negative consequences to this decision". -ETAC's Paul Nathanson on why the President imposed tariffs on #solar in Section 201 case.
"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".
"If you are pro manufacturing and pro jobs and bringing manufacturing back to the U.S., the Section 201 decision is the worst thing you can do to the U.S. manufacturing industry"- ETAC's Paul Nathanson @Heritage panel.
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 https://t.co/8ffxdoDSea
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. https://t.co/BMx0qUxDuF
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". https://t.co/lue6B5xM14
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. https://t.co/GulJYtM73g
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: https://t.co/64ld52Xx5i
