Tariffs: A Potential Roadblock to Renewable Energy Growth
\n
The impact of tariffs on the renewable energy sector is a pressing concern as the world pushes towards a cleaner future.
\n
According to a recent analysis by McKinsey & Company, evolving tariff dynamics could significantly affect the adoption of solar, wind, battery storage, and electric vehicles (EVs) in the United States and the European Union by 2035. **At Cleanlight, we believe that tariffs alone may stall renewable energy adoption, undermining global efforts to combat climate change.**
