It has been widely publicized that the Chinese President is coming to Washington D.C.to meet with President Obama. The delegation is sure to discuss many topics and my presumption is that solar energy is one of them. The ITC is a benefit for the industry that almost directly offsets the cost of the trade tariff. The tariff artificially inflates the true cost of solar modules that could be used here. The politics here are inherently conservative and should be appealing to Republicans. Open trade can lower costs. Conserving energy through competitive markets lowers costs. So when the debate stage is in front of Reagan’s Air Force One, the question that should be asked is; Isn’t solar energy a great Republican Agenda item?
