Alternative To EU-China Trade War
Dear Friends, Visitors/Viewers/Readers, (Please click on red links below) ________________________________________________________________________________________ Updates on our Solar-FIT For Sunshine State petition: 162 signatures strong. We need more! Please help us to spread more sunshine by signing this petition and sharing it with others. It is our shared responsibility to move toward the renewable energy age and Sunshine is the cleanest, healthiest, and least war-prone way to go! Thank you. ________________________________________________________________________________________ Global Solar Summit at Milan, Italy, is going on right now! May 8-9, 2013, at Rho Exhibition & Conference Center at Milan, Italy. General Information. Program. Speakers. Registration. Sponsorship Opportunities. Sponsors. Partners. Endorsements. Press. Contacts. ________________________________________________________________________________________ I just got a message from Solar Impulse — the solar airplane that is flying across the United States right now. The plane is carrying a message encouraging governments, CEOs, and other decision-makers to support and deploy clean technologies. Because I signed up, my name is going to be carried in the cockpit of the plane. You should add your name too — the more names the plane carries, the stronger the clean technology message will be on the ground. So far, over 16,000 Friends are virtual passengers in the cockpit. You can add your name by clicking here — it only takes 30 seconds. Thanks! sunisthefuture-Susan Sun Nunamaker _______________________________________________________________________________________ There has been much coverage on the European Commission planning to impose between 37.2% and 67.9% tariffs on Chinese solar module manufacturers which if approved, will be published in the Official Journal of the European Union in June and come into provisional effect. In the meantime, there are talks of potential retaliation from China over EU solar PV tariffs and more than 1,000 firms demanding an end to EU-China solar PV trade war.
Video below demonstrating EU solar panel industry defending Chinese imports:
My thoughts on the subject matter: we are living in a time of transition heading toward infinity. It is necessary for EU and China both to realize that there is much to be gained from collaborations and playing the Game of Infinity rather than Zero Sum Game. If there will be greater demand, there would not be any need for anti-dumping tariffs. Then, how about concentrating on collaborating effort to expand the demand for solar PV throughout our planet earth rather than deterring one another from expansion? Our planet needs all of us to play a positive role in assisting with the move toward renewable energy age, if we’d like to see our future generations to have any decent chance of having a clean, healthy, war-free and sustainable world. I am doing my part in gathering signatures to ask Florida legislators and governor to consider implementing Solar-FIT (Feed-In-Tariff), what will those of you in solar industry in EU and China do? Similar discussions occurred earlier between U.S. and China, covered by Sun Is The Future (in the two links below):
