Our housing market AAA low risk mortgages really impacted a lot of countries. We have let unfair trade practices go on for years. Now we finely do something and they are setting up BRICS on a gold standard. Hard to beat a gold standard. One thing for sure is times are changing and we aren't the driving force anymore.

Bob: I would consider watcher.guru a lot speculative but some of this is true. Rightly or wrongly, when we deny access to money that belongs to other country, many countries (including non-enemy) would like their emergency reserve (used to always be USD and to some extent still is) insulated from such denials. Emergency reserve is always during emergency and that can not await a ruling from international courts!!Our housing market AAA low risk mortgages really impacted a lot of countries.

It's hurts some folks feelings when their screwed up political ideas get into their pocket book.....

The tariff rate on solar cells (whether or not assembled into modules) will increase from 25% to 50% in 2024. The tariff increase will protect against China's policy-driven overcapacity that depresses prices and inhibits the development of solar capacity outside of China.
China has signalled it will retaliate against trade barriers introduced by the US and the EU as it launched an anti-dumping probe into chemical imports.
The Ministry of Commerce announced on Sunday that it is probing imports of polyoxymethylene copolymer, a thermoplastic widely used in the consumer electronics and automotive industries, from the EU, the US, Japan and Taiwan.

The USA has the US dollar.
Oil is sold in Dollars, most international trade involves a Dollar...
This is because of the post war way things went and the US dollar was seen as honest.
And its was an economic and political sledge hammer used to steer the world PAX Americana
To this day I think there is more US money in other countries than there is IN the USA.
Because even if you are in an unfriendly country to the USA or you have an axe to grind with the USA a dollar is still fair and it still the currencey to use for trade.
( backed by guns and oil, so who needs gold? )
That's unlikely to change very soon if ever
BRICS.
Brazil is the country of tomorow.
They keep saying that but as long as they keep running the country that way it always will be the future they are waiting for .
Russia.
YA Russia, give me a bowel of beet soup and promises.... and as long as you pretend to pay me I will pretend to work
India
The worlds most populis basket case...
China
The worlds sweat shops.
South Africa
Thank God they don't have the Bomb...
At least Bota had the good sense to burn the plans...
I'm going to add The pound sterling was king until the British empire went broke fighting wars.
I live in a world defined by that.
Things Change but they don;t change as fast as Russia and China might like without good reason to change.
Since day one of the Russian invasion of Ukraine I have said we should be dumping the best weapons and as much support as we can into their country.
They are fighting for the values and traditions we share.
Take a hard look at the BRICs.
Do they look like places you want to live in as a working class man with car and a house as your dream?
Stripped of cheap labour or buckets of resources are these governments trying to create modern liberal democracies or are they trying to create some sort of Oligarchical collectivist fiefdoms...
And I am not an American and blind to history
Someday they might, and should, build a monument to the victims of capitalism ( right next door to the smaller victims of communism memorial )
Enjoy your fruit...
it was bought and paid for in blood and US dollars.

How a sitting, elected national government found itself in the position of having to buy its own country.

Imagine how this will change the market overnight to favor the new tesla powerwall 3. Tesla is the only company who is doing large scale manufacturing of lifepo4 cells here in the USA...
There is a couple other domestic lifepo4 manufacturers, but you can't even consider them because their volume is so low. This would make tesla dominate the market overnight. And tesla is still expanding their lfp cell production.

Lets catch that knife on TSLA stock.
I know quite a few of the other companies personally, and I don't see how anyone could compete. Their current stationary storage installation rate is nearly parabolic right now...

Combination of the tariffs increasing the price of components going up and the new rules that are trying to defeat large residential storage. They're pushing for microgrid commercial installations.Lets catch that knife on TSLA stock.
Need to find all the players and invest in their stocks. Like it or not change is happening.

Are they cost competitive enough now for this to be a reality?

That's $9300+installation.
Apparently there will be additional pw3 units that don't have the inverter brains just additional DC battery capacity, for a $1000 less. so still big premium for capacity expansion.

Omg. That is so expensive.
A diy lifepo4 pack with 16kwh goes for 1600 - 1800 right now.
Tesla's is at least 6 times the price!
With the new tarrifs, it won't be that cheap any longer. And the Powerwall will have inverter, mppt etc. Need to add the cost of a 18Kpv or equivalent inverter. Or a sol ark. Now you're looking at $7000 minimum
So it's quite possible that DIY will be more expensive than a Tesla powerwall 3. Very soon.

Oh 'Powerwall' goes for all in 1 system with inverter and all, i get it now.

Exactly why I bought a fairly big EP Cube last week, & I have a full pallet (35) of new bifacials. I'm ready.

Saw on Signature Solar's site that they're warning about panel prices going up, maybe as much as 50%. The thing is, when will they start to jack up the prices, and will it apply to those panels they have in stock, or those coming in later? Also, will it apply to all types of panels, or bifacials only?
I've been itching get another 4KW of panels, but am wondering how long I have to wait.

Kinda like when the previous administration suggested Tarrifs on stuff from China & certain groups became apoplectic.
Shoes on the other foot now and not a peep.
