⛔️ The USA is suffocating green energy: tariffs on solar panels — up to 3521%
The U.S. Department of Commerce has finally approved hellish tariffs on the import of solar panels from Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, and Vietnam.
What happened:
• Up to 3521% — maximum tariff for companies from Cambodia
• Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand — from 41% to 375%
• Chinese companies that “circumvented” tariffs by producing panels in Southeast Asia are under fire
Why this is important for the crypto industry:
• Less cheap solar energy = higher electricity prices
• Mining, especially in the USA, will become more expensive
• ESG funds may turn cold towards Proof-of-Work
Conclusion:
This is a blow not only to the climate but also to crypto. Mining markets may shift to regions with cheap energy — Kazakhstan? Latin America?
Forecast:
We expect an increase in interest in “green” alternatives (Solana, Chia) and decentralized energy. Plus — this is a new argument in favor of transitioning to Proof-of-Stake.
