We can’t let stopping climate change get in the way of capitalism!
oh it's real https://twitter.com/JoeBiden/status/1138506137697959939
That's right, Joe knows how to protect the interests of American oligarchs much better than that charlatan.
China is unfairly SUBSIDIZING green energy products. They must be stopped or DEMOCRACY will fall.
Also medical supplies, including masks, because COVID is Joever.

Edit to add: There is necessarily a lag between tariff imposition and indigenous production, and we’re left to fill that gap with our own wallets individually. Worse, the prices will almost definitely never come back down as they might in theory, because this is late-stage capitalism.
It'd be really funny if those raw milk drinkers started a bird flu pandemic during a medical PPE shortage 😂
Wow, does that mean we are ramping up domestic production for these? No? Oh...
be funny if China put an export tariff on the production materials
Well, we have targeted a few industries, particularly clean energy, electric vehicles, batteries, renewables, where we’re not trying to dominate the globe and be the only country in the world that supplies these goods.

make up your mind ghouls
This is basically a self imposed embargo that will ensure that we are outside observers to a world that is rapidly transitioning to renewable energy.
It will also be part of financial handouts to underperforming US tech companies
See, they were making fun of him saying Chai-nuh, and the way he was pursuing hostilities, not the hostilities themselves.
Same deal with the Iraq War until like 2006. Kerry's pitch was not that it was bad and should be ended but that it was being run incompetently.
Or ask any Blue Maga what specific immigration reforms they want. They want the same thing, they just have minor disagreements on how to get there or even just aesthetics.
The rest of the world will get cheaper solar panels and EVs, that's quite nice.
Cheap panels are tanking European competitors, but it's probably too late to intervene at this point. Can't compete with work camps and cheap slave labor.
you seriously think the ONLY possible explanation for cheap solar panels is "cheap slave labor?"
not the fact that the chinese government has heavily subsidized these industries? your only explanation is work camps? where are the pictures of these work camps, the stories from all of those people who came to the US from China, they must have something to say about all of the slavery and work camps!
get fucking real and stop living in lib fantasyland
There are parts of the world not EU and US. They would all benefit from cheap panels.
But EU and US are not really important: https://www.statista.com/statistics/668749/regional-distribution-of-solar-pv-module-manufacturing/ they account only for few percent of solar photovoltaic module production.
For every voter who wants a habitable planet, a cheap electric car, or to catch covid less we lose, we're gonna pick up two moderate republicans!
Their "determined to dominate"
Our "determined to ensure we lead the world"
What a fucking joke. Why are we expected to take these people seriously? Communism will win, Death to America.

You want Amerikkka to lead maybe subsidize EVs as well?
Why can't we all win? (Ide rather bus/rail and walkable cities)
The US government does subsidize EVs (it's the only reason Tesla can exist, for instance), the problem is that all their subsidies just get used for stock buybacks. Why would a privately-owned company actually create more factories? That's just not profitable.
The most rational system.
The government does subsidize EVs.
Additionally even used EVs are subsidized.
Between federal and state tax credits, as well as utility company rebates, my folks just got over 5k back for a used Nissan leaf. They were able to trade in their old clunker, netting a profit of a few hundred dollars to upgrade to a practical used EV.
