Will Trump's climate policy cause US economy to lose its advantage? | DW News

I love Trump! He will finally release us from the grip of the US. I have hated the US control over Europe, and finally it will end.

So if you make more profit from the goods and services you provide to me, I can put tarrifs on your goods so that you stop selling to me and if you stop selling to me, I will start making my own products I buy from you

[@gilbertwisler6243]

@ Yes, which means more jobs and less dependency on adversarial countries.

[@rucky_665]

@@UkraineTV-c6snope, higher prices given that the manufacturer capacity of the USA is rather limited and cannot compete even with products harboring high tariffs. What you suggest might be true for some specific products but even so if takes time to be accommodated. What you can expect is increased inflation and no, not a single penny is paid by foreigner countries; this is a blatant lie.

[@arnodobler1096]

There were 3, it was initiated long before, the 3 accounted for only 6%, they would have had to be shut down or expensively renovated anyway because they were outdated! To cover electricity consumption, Germany would need around 75 new nuclear power plants, which even the energy companies don't want, and no insurance company would insure them.

[@dss2mtm]

You Tube can educate. Thanks for your post; I didn't know any of that.

[@dkolle3446]

First of all these nuclear plants wouldn't have contributed much to the overall energy mix and because we're part of the UCTE grid in europe there's not much of a problem importing energy bc it's always going for the cheapest option at a certain time. Secondly if you're for cheap energy you can't be a supporter of nuclear energy. Only reason nuclear energy is even able to be part of the energy mix is bc of huge amounts of subventions.

Yes but, that doesn’t mean it has be caused by us. It could be equally likely that it was going to happen anyway, by being diverted into carbon mitigation it may well be worse as that funding could be used to mitigate for the ocean rises. My opinion is that we have fallen into a fatal error, but if green energy can be cheaper than burning hydrocarbons then that is a good thing regardless as clean air is very important.

Tariffs are paid by the importing company and passed on to the consumer, so ultimately US consumers will pay. Companies manufacturing outside the USA will not pay tariffs - the volume of product that they export to the USA might be impacted. Companies manufacturing finished product inside the USA (for the USA market) but with overseas components might find their costs go up and that will be passed on to the USA consumer.
