<DIV>Marco,</DIV>

<DIV> <EM>"Chinese and Taiwanese
continue to get hammered with these tariffs."</EM>
In any game, if you're not playing fair, you get penalized.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Yes, I too thank SolarWorld for
producing a very high quality product here in the USA at a reasonable cost, less
polluting production methods and being there for me to back up their panels
in the long run. For myself and my customers, it feels good to know that
our dollars are staying here in the states, boosting our economy. Some
Chinese PV companies have already come and gone in the rush to the bottom we saw
a couple years ago. There are not doubt some Chinese PVs that are quality
built but many will follow the same path of anything else purchased from
Walmart mentality...low upfront cost, early failure and a bad name
for solar. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> And its not just SolarWorld that
should take the credit for the tariff bashing comments, though they
have been willing to be the target for the few survivors here in the
US. My understanding is now there is an increase in production (and
producers) domestically due to a leveling of the PV playing field.</DIV>
