At the end of the day it’s just tax on the US consumer.  China has plenty of other markets outside of the US and they will adapt quickly.   We’ll probably start seeing more batteries from Asia and India over the next few years. It’s beyond my imagination why we would want to bring such a dirty manufacturing process home.What I didn’t see is when the 25% tariff actually goes into effect.  Is it immediate or sometime later this year?</blockquote>
