Last week, the Trump administration did what America’s renewable energy businesses had been fearing for months when he put harmful tariffs and quotas on imported solar.

Solar energy is booming in the United States, but companies riding the wave fear that President Donald Trump could undercut them with new tariffs on imported solar panels. A green-technology research firm estimates that tariffs could cost up to 88,000 U.S. jobs related to installing solar-power systems.
