Solar Energy Remarks Announcing Administration Proposals.
Thirty-nine years ago tonight, President Jimmy Carter offered these remarks on television:
"In the year 2000, the solar water heater behind me, which is being dedicated today, will still be here supplying cheap, efficient energy. A generation from now, this solar heater can either be a curiosity, a museum piece, an example of a road not taken, or it can be just a small part of one of the greatest and most exciting adventures ever undertaken by the American people: harnessing the power of the Sun to enrich our lives as we move away from our crippling dependence on foreign oil."
"As President, I am determined that America will move toward the solar age with effectiveness and determination, with excitement, high spirits, and with confidence. Therefore, I dedicate, this afternoon, this solar heater, harnessing the rays of the Sun to the benefit of those who serve our country at the White House, with the faith that American technology will meet challenges that lie ahead and that we will build a more self-reliant and a more secure nation for the generations to come.

GOP Senators Want to Exempt Giant Solar-Farm Panels From Tariffs – Bloomberg
Tariffs of all sorts are horseshit that distort markets yet raise little money. The US should eliminate all tariffs including the evil Chicken Tax, and focus on taxing carbon emissions. Free college and training can make it easier for people to transition to other good paying careers.
