COAL'S NOT COMING BACK
Trump's 30% tariff on solar panels is making solar companies say that it will cause the loss of roughly 23,000 American jobs this year. Trumpists claim that it will force companies to make more solar panels but that doesn't make sense because Germany has done the most research and owns the most patents so it would drive cost up too much. Other countries are way ahead of US in solar. China installs more solar in 60 days than US does in a year.
Lol, for years the protectionist Michael Moore style left talks about slapping tariffs on foreign made products to bring jobs back here. As soon as there is a right winger doing it, they are suddenly free traders. Give me a break and have a little moral consistency.

The store closings, for example, are largely a result of online market places and would have happened regardless of who occupies the White House. And the anemic state of the coal industry is due to cheap natural gas. Contrary to what some seem to claim, politicians have, at best, a limited impact on market forces in a market economy.
Boru
Exactly.
