Und trump will noch mehr Zölle gegen China Dumping... USA ist der richtige Standort!
Biden government is now in a hurry, elctions loom.... www.yahoo.com/news/bid…let-unfair-202130489.html The Biden administration has been considering a potential increase in tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles and other goods. It’s evaluating import taxes on more than $300 billion in Chinese goods first imposed by then-President Donald Trump more than five years ago.
Podesta on Tuesday gave the clearest signal yet that the Biden administration will take more steps to buttress domestic solar manufacturing, which is challenged by the large inventory of panels inside the US as well as other trade and policy headwinds.
President Joe Biden won’t extend a two-year reprieve on new duties for certain solar cells and modules imported from Southeast Asia, set to expire in early June, Podesta said
“We just have to look at Europe and see what happened,” Podesta said. “Well, it’s not too late for us.”
Beyond that, he said, “we’re taking other measures” that will protect investment and “build up that solar manufacturing capacity” inside the US.
“We’re not going to permit the dumping of excess capacity into our markets,” he added.
Manufacturers have advanced a range of ideas, including extending existing tariffs to two-sided solar panels that can now generally be imported duty-free. They’ve also lobbied for changes in what projects are eligible for a tax credit meant to incentivize domestic content, so that it rewards US-made solar subcomponents as well as the cost of domestic labor used to make panels and other equipment. Podesta did not offer specifics.
“We’re in active discussion about what our policy options are,” Podesta told Bloomberg on the sidelines of the conference.
