Tariffs, of course. Trump is doing the fossil fuel industry's bidding trying to kill all renewables.

Sure but even with 100% tariffs it would still be cheaper to import.

Solar panels got tariffed by Biden a couple month before trump took office.

I believe it was because they determined that Vietnam was dumping panels at below cost, which is deemed an unfair trade practice. I noticed this because I preemptively bought a couple panels before trump was inaugurated, and like a week after I did, the tariff was announced.
