| Solar power – energy from the sun – is an alternative energy source and currently an extra-hot topic of discussion! Many solar energy companies have been growing quickly in the United States as more and more people are choosing to power their homes and businesses with this form of clean, renewable energy. President Trump recently placed a 30% tariff or tax on solar panels coming from other countries. This order could protect domestic producers of solar panels or be the beginning of the end of solar energy in the US. This timely and critical issue is a perfect DBQ exercise that will send students on a learning path covering international trade, politics, energy, and economics. Begin the conversation and discovery here with the following units.
