Saatvik Green Energy, one of India’s biggest solar module makers by capacity, said on Thursday it is shunning the once-promising U.S. export market as it is no longer “worth the risk” due to the thorny tariff issue

    There’s the tarrifs and theres the bizarre anti-renewable energy sentiment harbored by the current administration.

    Personally, I think that’s just coming from power utilities pushing the idea that, “it’s cool if WE build a solar array but it’s not cool if YOU do it.”

      No, it’s stupidier and more nakedly corrupt. Fossil fuel companies gave Trump over a billion dollars in political donations, and fossil fuel jobs look “manly” and have “big trucks.”

      That’s about it. He can appeal to rural voters in rural states working dying jobs while the companies he gives trillions in subsides to give him billions in donations back. For that, he’ll kill the planet faster and trap millions in low wage, dangerous jobs instead of just letting solar and wind naturally ramp up.
