The American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) issued the following statement in response to steel tariffs proposed by the Administration:
In their statement, AWEA highlights the outcomes of implementing steel tariffs.
“Steel tariffs will decrease competition and trade, ultimately making capital-intensive energy infrastructure projects more expensive by adding cost for U.S. manufacturers along the supply chain. If implemented, this trade policy would run counter to the Administration’s goal of U.S. energy dominance and harm the U.S. manufacturing workers supporting the wind industry’s rapid growth.” – Tom Kiernan, CEO, American Wind Energy Association.
AWEA is the national trade association of the U.S. wind energy industry. AWEA represents 1,000-member companies and over 100,000 jobs in the U.S. economy, serving as a powerful voice for how wind works for America.
