Tariffs: A Potential Roadblock to Renewable Energy Growth
\n
The recent McKinsey analysis on the impact of tariffs on renewable energy adoption in the US and EU raises crucial concerns about the future of clean energy.
\n
At Cleanlight, we believe that tariffs alone may significantly hinder the growth of solar, wind, and other clean energy technologies in the US by 2035. The analysis highlights the potential risks associated with evolving tariff dynamics, which could affect the adoption of solar, wind, battery storage, and electric vehicles.

- \n
- The US renewable energy market may face significant challenges due to tariffs, potentially stalling adoption.Then
- The EU market may also be impacted, although the effects may vary depending on the specific tariff dynamics.
- A comprehensive policy framework is necessary to mitigate the negative impacts of tariffs on clean energy growth.
