President Biden announces a series of tariffs on green energy products from China.

We can’t let stopping climate change get in the way of capitalism!

These go right against our goals to increase use of solar and EVs. ☹️

That's not how you ensure America leads the world in them. That's how you ensure corps feel safe not doing shit to innovate anymore. This is just another form of a bailout.

also Biden 🤡

these actions already admit defeat

Interesting word choice. China wants to "dominate", the US wants to "lead".

Wow, does that mean we are ramping up domestic production for these? No? Oh...

The rest of the world will get cheaper solar panels and EVs, that's quite nice.

You want Amerikkka to lead maybe subsidize EVs as well?

Why can't we all win? (Ide rather bus/rail and walkable cities)

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.

America can't compete with China and American corps cried for daddy.

Swiggity swooty the oil lobby is coming for your booty

What a bell-end. Maybe instead of tariffs the US should begin vesting in education, job training, and research into these sectors so it can compete instead of trying to hobble the competition in the domestic market. This is just protectionism by a different name

This is the trumpiest shit ever.

We should just be buying solar panels as cheap as we can, as fast we can who gives a fuck if they "dominate" the net positive is worth it

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!

Repeatedly stomping on my collection of rakes to own the commies

Steel I get. That's an environmental issue since US creation is way more carbon friendly. However the rest makes no sense without an announcement in domestic investment that is pulled from currently used non-environmental budgets.

This dude really does not want to get reelected again. I hate that he's the only choice. What a piece of shit.

hell yea FUCK the environment lmao

If hes going to do that he should light a fire under the domestics asses to get our own evs up to snuff. And market competitive. None of that whining how it cannot be done either

It's ok.. the consumer will ultimately pay that tariff.

Man what a fucking idiot.

Trump can't campaign so Biden's doing his job for him.

Can someone explain to me how tariffs help us? Couldn’t I buy a Chinese EV cheaper if there were no tariffs.?

That's... That's not how any of this works.

Yeah, screw Biden at this point. He's basically 2016 Trump on so many policies. 2024 Trump is going to be worse but so what.

As a hobbiest, I make things out of steel and aluminum. Can't wait to pay more.

nice now the all the cartels will start wheeling and dealing cpus and evs woo woo..

3 out of the 5 things have nothing to do with green energy.

Let's get a tarrif on major grocery and supply chain vendors at home first.

So end H1B visas and refocus tax dollars on infrastructure and education you fucking prick.

This is what we needed to encourage the fascist Biden vote!

It will do wonders!

What an awful god damn tweet. Are the tariffs to combat Chinese governmental meddling? If so, great. If not then they’re protectionist stupidity that’s sure to draw a response. This tweet sure makes it sound like it’s the latter. sigh
