Trump tariffs on Chinese energy storage products may strengthen #China’s #energy transition. Greenpeace East Asia Beijing-based project lead Yao Yi told @semafor.com “These tariffs may provide the unintentional incentive of strengthening China’s energy transition for its energy storage sector.”
Chinese clean tech companies may actually emerge stronger as a result of increased isolation from the US market, analysts tell Semafor, while American energy companies could find themselves increasingly at a loss.
