President’s Decision on Solar Tariffs is a Loss for America | SEIA

The Solar Energy Industries Association and its members expressed disappointment in the decision by President Trump to impose 30 percent tariffs on imported solar cells.

The Solar Energy Industries Association predicts that President Trump's decision Monday to impose 30 percent tariffs on imported solar cells "effectively will cause the loss of roughly 23,000 American jobs this year, including many in manufacturing, and it will result in the delay or cancellation of billions of dollars in solar investments." While finding a small silver lining that the tariffs imposed "were nowhere near as bad" as those originally requested, SEIA and its members are otherwise spitting nails.

There is a new model of science known as the Unified Field Theory and the Unified Particle Theory. This model of science is one that Einstein tried for thirty years to discover, but was unable.
Within this new science are the discoveries of clean energy.
Clean energy comes from a particle accelerator called the Electrino Fusion Power Reactor (EFPR). This is done through the fusion of the half particles of electrons (semions), in a particle accelerator.
When electron semions are fused, they switch from matter to antimatter and vice versa; so, when the half particles are fused, antimatter will be produced (negatrons), which will collide with the matter (protons and neutrons) in the walls of the accelerator, annihilating one nucleon each reaction, and producing a burst of gamma rays. The gamma rays are collected by photovoltaic cells and converted into electricity.
In the initial design, one accelerator would produce 1,880 megawatts of power for less than 50 million dollars as compared to the Grand Coulee dam which produces 2,000 megawatts, or a modern nuclear reactor which can produce up to 1,250 megawatts and cost over ten billion dollars. Currently there are 100 nuclear reactors in the United States producing 100,000 Megawatts of power. It would take 54 Electrino Fusion Power Reactors to replace all nuclear facilities in the United States.
Electrino Fusion energy is 1000 times more efficient than a nuclear reactor, with no carbon emissions or radioactive wastes. It can use virtually anything for fuel and can go one-hundred years before refueling is needed. It would be easiest, however to use Copper for annihilation fuel.

The Energy Central Power Industry Network is based on one core idea - power industry professionals helping each other and advancing the industry by sharing and learning from each other.

If you have an experience or insight to share or have learned something from a conference or seminar, your peers and colleagues on Energy Central want to hear about it. It's also easy to share a link to an article you've liked or an industry resource that you think would be helpful.
