China subsidized solar panels, US finds. Are tariffs the right response?
A Commerce Department investigation found that Chinese government-subsidized solar panels were dumped in the US market, harming US manufacturers.?
In a move with potential to spark a trade war, the Commerce Department ruled Tuesday that US solar panel manufacturers are being victimized by Chinese manufacturers dumping cheap panels in North America that were unfairly subsidized by the Chinese government.
Skip to next paragraphAmid an ongoing investigation, Commerce determined that Chinese producers and exporters have received subsidies ranging from 2.90 percent to 4.73 percent, a smaller advantage over US manufacturers than many analysts had expected. Commerce will now direct tariffs to be collected on Chinese imports.
The Obama administration argues that dumping of under-priced solar panels is a violation of World Trade Organization rules that has come at a high cost to US panel manufacturers. Several have already been forced to close domestic manufacturing facilities even though 2011 was one of the best years ever for US solar panel sales.
While the US remains a leader in the production of thin film ? an advanced type of solar-electric panel technology ? at least 12 US manufacturers that made more conventional photovoltaic panels have laid off employees, shut down plants or filed for bankruptcy during the past two years, according to the Coalition for American Solar Manufacturing. The group of seven US manufacturers filed trade petitions last year against two Chinese silicon solar PV manufacturers, leading to the Commerce investigation.
"Essentially, China is trying to corner the market," Elijah Sonnier, quality manager at MX Solar USA, a panel manufacturer in Somerset, N.J., and one of the seven coalition companies, said this month. "They corner the market and push everyone else out, and then they set their own prices."
Despite the smaller than expected advantage announced by the Commerce Department, a spokesman for one coalition company said he expects the estimation of the Chinese subsidy to grow as the investigation continues.
"So far it's been determined that fully 10 subsidy programs the Chinese are using are illegal under US and international trade law," Ben Santarris, a spokesman for SolarWorld Industries America in Hillsboro, Ore., says in an interview. "It's just the first step in a multi-step process. It's not unusual for preliminary determinations to come in at these levels or for the numbers to change significantly between the preliminary and final determination."
In a January finding in the runup to Tuesday?s announcement, the Commerce Department's International Trade Administration determined that Chinese manufacturers had apparently dumped "massive" quantities of solar panels into the US market that were sold far more cheaply than US-made panels. According to the finding, the lower price was mainly because the panels were heavily subsidized by dozens of low-cost Chinese government loan programs and other subsidies.
The Commerce finding parallel's a separate Stanford University analysis for the National Renewable Energy Laboratory based in Golden, Colo. released last month. It found that Chinese solar panel manufacturers had only about a one percent cost advantage ? if subsidies were excluded ? and would actually have exceeded the cost of US-made panels by 5 percent when ocean transportation costs were included.
The preliminary Commerce finding ? which comes without fanfare as a "fact sheet" rather than a press announcement and included no formal comment from a commerce official ? comes at a politically delicate moment for the Obama administration, which would like to avoid a trade war with China during an election year.
As a result of the finding, tariffs on Chinese solar panel imports will be levied retroactively back to December and US Customs and border protection officers will be instructed to slap tariffs on any new Chinese solar panels entering the US. But whether that will be sufficient to keep US manufacturers afloat remains to be seen.

GENEVA (AP) ? Canada and the action-sports world endured their second tragedy in two months Saturday with the death of skicross racer Nik Zoricic, who suffered head injuries after crashing into the nets on the side of the course near the final jump of a race in Switzerland.
Ski authorities called it a "freak accident," much the same way they labeled the fatal accident of Canadian freestyle skier Sarah Burke, who crashed during halfpipe training two months to the day before Zoricic's accident.
Both Burke and Zoricic were 29.
International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge called Zoricic's death "a very sad day for the whole Olympic Movement."
"He was a young, gifted athlete who tragically died doing the sport he loved," Rogge said in a statement.
Skicross debuted at the Olympics in 2010, joining its sister sport of snowboardcross in the latest attempt by the IOC to bring a more exciting, youthful feel to the games. It's a dangerous discipline ? known as "NASCAR on skis" ? during which four racers jostle down a course filled with banks, rolls and ridges.
Despite the inherent danger, Max Gartner, president of Alpine Canada, said he was satisfied with the safety precautions in place for the race in Grindelwald, Switzerland.
"We're pretty confident that this was a World Cup race and there's lots of rules and regulations, and inspectors on site," he said.
Gartner, speaking during a conference call from Toronto, said: "I would say it's a freak accident, from here. It doesn't happen often, but it's devastating. We look at all our athletes as members of our family, so it's hard."
Zoricic's death adds more fuel to the debate over safety in the world of skiing, particularly in the relatively new disciplines of freestyle skiing. More sports are being added to the Olympic program in 2014, including skiing halfpipe and slopestyle on both snowboards and skis.
International Ski Federation secretary general Sarah Lewis said Zoricic's death was "a terrible, tragic accident."
"All the safety measures were in place," Lewis told The Associated Press by telephone from Grindelwald, a regular venue on the skicross international circuit.
Zoricic was treated by doctors before being airlifted to a hospital at Interlaken. He was pronounced dead as a result of "severe neurotrauma," the ski federation said in a statement.
"Nik Zoricic fell heavily just before the finish in the round of eight, crashing directly into the safety netting and thereafter lying motionless," the federation said.
The governing body will work with Swiss ski officials to analyze the crash and course security. An investigation will be conducted by legal officers from Bern.
"There will be plenty of discussions from all the experts on the technical side and coaches, and any improvements people feel are right to make, will be made," Lewis said
Gartner, when asked about the Grindelwald course setting, said "lots of races" place a jump close to the finish line.
Zoricic raced on the World Cup circuit for more than three years and was competing in his 36th event Saturday. He placed fifth in last season's World Cup standings, and eighth in the 2011 World Championships held at Deer Valley, Utah.
Zoricic's teammate Ashleigh McIvor won gold for the host nation when it debuted as an Olympic sport at the 2010 Vancouver Games.
"It's probably just as safe doing our sport as driving down the highway," McIvor said in a conference call. "I don't think the finger should be pointed at any of the organization."
Lewis acknowledged the potential danger in skicross, calling it "a high-risk sport."
"Any sport where you put on a helmet, there is a reason for it," Lewis said. "This was a World Cup competition where they were racing for positions. It was about trying to go as fast as possible."
Grindelwald has been a venue on the skicross World Cup circuit since 2005. The Swiss village beneath the Eiger and Jungfrau mountain peaks was hosting a meet for the fifth straight year.
Organizers canceled the World Cup events for men and women on Saturday, along with the World Cup Finals races on Sunday.
"We are all very sad. It is unbelievable for us all," Christoph Egger, president of the race organizing committee, told the AP by telephone. "We are an experienced organizer but, nevertheless, skicross is a sport where four racers fight to win a race.
"In these circumstances there is a risk to fall or risk of injury, and since today we know there is a risk for death."
Egger said it was a "surprise" to see Zoricic's line of flight off the jump, but added: "We put the fences there because you have to protect the racers for the finish area."
According to Gartner, Zoricic was "a model athlete" who began in Alpine racing before switching to skicross.
"He's an extremely dedicated, quiet young man who has gone about his business and found his home in skicross. It was a pleasure to work with him and know him," Gartner said.
Zoricic was born in Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina, one year before the city hosted the 1984 Winter Games as part of the former Yugoslavia.
He moved to Canada at 5, where his father, Bebe, became an established Alpine coach at the Craigleith Ski Club in Ontario.
Canadian Alpine racer Kelly VanderBeek posted on Twitter that she grew up skiing with Zoricic and his father.
"I'm a mess, so I can only imagine how his family is. I'm so very sorry. Sending Love," she wrote.
U.S. racer Ted Ligety also posted a message of condolence on Twitter soon after winning a World Cup giant slalom race in Kranjska Gora, Slovenia.
"Skiing is a great sport that gives but it also takes, sad day to lose Nick Zoricic, you'll be missed bud," Ligety wrote.
Organizers at Grindelwald helped provide grief counselors for the Canadian team, who were holding a candlelit memorial service for Zoricic in the course finish area on Saturday evening.
"The skicross team is a very tight-knit group," Gartner said. "There is going to be a very intimate ceremony."

The blue planet's new water budget: Do we have enough?
ScienceDaily (Mar. 5, 2012) ? Investigating the history of water on Earth is critical to understanding the planet's climate. One central question is whether Earth has always had the same amount of water on and surrounding it, the same so-called "water budget." Has Earth gained or lost water from comets and meteorites? Has water been lost into space? New research into Earth's primordial oceans conducted by researchers at the Natural History Museum of Denmark at the University of Copenhagen and Stanford University revisits Earth's historical water budget.
The results have just been published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Water accounts for about ? of a thousandth of Earth's total mass, despite the fact that roughly 70% of the planet's surface is covered by this substance so vital to survival. Indeed, water is a relatively "rare substance" on our "Blue Planet."
Where does water come from?
"One of the absolutely most intriguing things about Earth is that there are oceans of water and that the presence of liquid water has enabled the existence of life on Earth. Therefore, questions concerning how Earth got its oceans, where the water came from and -- whether we are losing or gaining water from space -- are fundamental questions in the understanding of the Earth's history," says Emily Pope of the Nordic Center for Earth Evolution at the Natural History Museum of Denmark, University of Copenhagen.
Earth's "little bit" of water is divided among a variety of reservoirs. Therefore, a fairly accurate assessment of how much water currently exists on Earth can be made. But now, Emily Pope and her colleagues at the Natural History Museum of Denmark and Stanford University have also been able to determine that liquid water was also in existence upon the young Earth, billions of years ago. And, more consequentially, they have been able to approximate the ancient water budget.
The researchers have done this by examining 3.8 billion year old minerals from Greenland which are derived from Earth's primordial oceans.
A "minor" loss
"We have managed to reconstruct the isotopic composition of 3.8 billion-year-old seawater using mineral samples from the Isua-rocks in Greenland. The results demonstrate that the young planet's oceans, in relation to those of today, had proportionately more "normal water" than "heavy water" in them. We can explain this difference by the fact that Earth has lost less than ? of its water budget over the last roughly 4 billion years," says Pope.
It may sound like a lot of liquid, but it's a surprise for researchers that Earth's water budget has been so relatively stable for so many years. The new findings concerning the historical development of oceans also support new theories and suggested solutions to "the faint young Sun paradox." Theories challenging the paradox were propounded by a number of researchers from the Natural History Museum of Denmark and Stanford in 2010.
About the faint early Sun paradox
In 1972, the late, world renowned astronomer and his colleague, George Mullen, formulated "the faint early Sun paradox." The paradox addressed the relative stability of Earth's climate over the 4.5 billion years of its existence in relation to the fact that during the same period, solar radiation has increased by 25-30 percent.
The paradoxical question that arose from the scientists was why Earth's surface, during the planet's infancy, was not covered by ice, when the sun's rays were much weaker than they are today. One possible solution to the paradox, among others, was proposed by the American atmospheric researcher Jim Kasting in 1993. He performed theoretical calculations which showed that 4 billion-years-ago, 30 percent of the Earths atmosphere was composed of CO2. The theory was that the impact of this large amount of greenhouse gas insulated the planet and prevented the oceans from freezing over.
An abundance of atmospheric CO2 however, was not the ice-limiting factor. Instead, a much thinner layer of cloud played a major role in keeping ice at bay. Furthermore, Earth was covered by ocean. This meant that the Sun's relatively unimpeded rays could warm the massive ocean which in turn could store heat and prevent the freezing of its surface, according to the research group from University of Copenhagen and Stanford. This is their current answer to the long-standing riddle.

WEST LIBERTY, Ky. (AP) ? Emergency crews desperately searched for survivors Saturday after a violent wave of Midwest and Southern storms flattened some rural communities and left behind a trail of destruction: shredded homes, downed power lines and streets littered with tossed cars.
Amid the destruction, startling stories of survival began to emerge, including that of a baby found alive in a field 10 miles from her Indiana home and a couple who were hiding in a restaurant basement when a school bus crashed through the building's wall.
The storms, predicted by forecasters for days, killed at least 38 people in five states ? Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio. State troopers, the National Guard and rescue teams made their way Saturday through counties cut off by debris-littered roads and knocked down cellphone towers in a search for survivors.
The landscape was littered with everything from sheet metal and insulation to crushed cars and, in one place, a fire hydrant, making travel difficult.
No building was left untouched in West Liberty, a small eastern Kentucky farming town in the foothills of the Appalachians. Two white police cruisers had been picked up and tossed into city hall, and few structures were recognizable.
The Rev. Kenneth Jett of the West Liberty United Methodist Church recalled huddling with four others in a little cubby hole in the basement as the church collapsed in the storm.
The pastor and his wife had just returned to the parsonage from a trip to a city about an hour away when he turned on the TV and saw that the storm was coming. Jett yelled to his wife that they needed to take shelter in the basement of the church next door. They were joined by two congregants who were cleaning the church and a neighbor. As they ran for the basement stairs, they could see the funnel cloud approaching.
The last one down was Jett's wife, Jeanene.
"I just heard this terrific noise," she said. "The windows were blowing out as I came down the stairs."
The building collapsed, but they were able to get out through a basement door. They escaped with only bumps and bruises.
"We're thankful to God," Jett said. "It was a miracle that the five of us survived."
In Indiana, a baby was found alone in a field about 10 miles north of where her family lives in New Pekin, said Melissa Richardson, spokeswoman at St. Vincent Salem Hospital, where the little girl was initially taken. The child was in critical condition Saturday at a hospital in Louisville, Ky., and authorities were still trying to figure out how she ended up in the field, Richardson said.
A tornado hit the New Pekin area Friday, but it wasn't clear whether it had picked up the child. Authorities have not identified the baby or her parents.
About 20 miles east, a twister demolished Henryville, Ind., the birthplace of Kentucky Fried Chicken founder Colonel Harland Sanders. The second story of the elementary school was torn off, and wind blew out the windows and gutted the Henryville Community Presbyterian Church. Few recognizable buildings remained.
A secretary at the school said a bus left Friday afternoon with 11 children, but the driver turned back after realizing they were driving straight into the storm. The children were ushered into the nurse's station and were hiding under tables and desks when the tornado struck. None were hurt.
The school bus, which was parked in front of the school, was tossed several hundred yards into the side of a nearby restaurant.
Todd and Julie Money were hiding there, having fled their Scottsburg home, which has no basement. They were in the basement of their friend's restaurant when the tornado struck.
"Unreal. The pressure on your body, your ears pop, trees snap," Todd Money said. "When that bus hit the building, we thought it exploded."
"It was petrifying," Julie Money added. "God put us here for a reason."
Friday's tornado outbreak came two days after an earlier round of storms killed 13 people in the Midwest and South, and forecasters at the National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center had said the day would be one of a handful this year that warranted its highest risk level. The weather service issued 297 tornado warnings and 388 severe thunderstorm warnings from Friday through early Saturday. In March, a storm of its magnitude happens once a decade, meteorologists said.
However, the storm still didn't measure up to the one on April 27, when tornadoes killed more than 240 people in Alabama. On that day, 688 tornado warnings and 757 severe thunderstorm warnings were issued from Texas to New York, said Greg Carbin, warning coordination meteorologist at the storm prediction center.
More severe storms were expected Saturday across parts of southern Georgia and northern Florida.
The storms have been carrying strong winds that change direction and increase in speed as they rise in the atmosphere, creating a spin, said Corey Mead, a storm prediction center meteorologist. The tornadoes develop when cold air in the storm system moving east from the Mississippi River Valley hits warm air coming north from the Gulf of Mexico, he said.
Fourteen people died in Indiana, and 19 were killed in Kentucky, where National Guard troops, state troopers and rescue workers searched counties east and south of Lexington on Saturday. Three deaths were reported in Ohio, and one each in Alabama and Georgia.
In Washington County, Ind., residents described seeing a massive tornado come over a hill and plow through a grove of trees, which looked almost like a line of bulldozers eight wide had rolled through, crushing the land.
When Gene Lewellyn, his son and his son's 7-year-old daughter saw the tornado come over the hill, they rushed to the basement of his one-story brick home and covered themselves with a carpet. Lewellyn's son laid over his daughter to protect her, and then a black cloud enveloped the house.
"It just shook once, and it (the house) was gone," said Lewellyn, 62, a retired press operator.
His family was safe, but their home was reduced to a pile of bricks with sheet metal wrapped around splintered trees. Pieces of insulation coated the ground, and across the street a large trailer picked up by the storm had landed on top of a boat. Lewellyn spent Saturday picking through the debris in 38-degree cold.
"Right now, we are not sure what we are going to do," he said. "We will get out what we can get out. Hopefully, we won't have to argue from the insurance company very much."

The Historical past of Track and Field Sports
Track and area sports are celebrations that provide into the fore the prowess of guy. By out historical past Kings and rulers have held contests to commemorate an occasion or simply for exciting and recreation. That is the origin from the track and subject sports activities that generally include races and feats of strength including the Javelin throw along with the discus toss. The ancient civilizations in Greece and India all had track and subject sports, however the Greek origin is properly documented and there are actually data readily available from 776 BC. Information counsel that at the moment the sole event was a racejordan spizike 2012
But recent analysis by archaeologists, propose that the games in Greece might have probably been held substantially previously maybe with the 10thor 9thcentury BC. The Online games of mans prowess have been held at Olympia as is confirmed by a list of Bronze relics which have been found out suggesting that prizes were granted into the winners. Because historical games were related with Olympia, the modern day Olympic Video games derive their name from this source.spizike 2012
The most renowned with the Monitor and Area online games that?s an enduring testimony to man?s endurance is definitely the Marathon. This is certainly the longest race of endurance. But this race as for every records available can be a far more the latest trend because it did not form half on the historical online games. The Modern day Marathon was very first launched within the 1896 Olympic Video games at Athens, Greece. The race at this Olympics was executed from Marathon, a place northeast of Athens towards the Olympic Stadium at Athens. The measured length was 42.195 kilometers (26 Miles and 385 yards). This race commemorates the dash by Pheidippides, an historical courier who brought the reports the Persian Army of Xersis had landed at Marathon. He?s documented to acquire operate 149 miles to Sparta using this news and alerted the Spartans on the Persian risk.jordan spizikes
The historical games were held each four a long time along with the present day online games have followed suite. After the video games grew to become a regular attribute other video games that exam a mans strength and talent were additional. Thus the Javelin throw, talk about and Shot place toss likewise as wrestling functions had been included within the historical games.jordan 12
In historical India, Khustie or Indian wrestling, Hand and Arm wrestling and functions of Archery were carried out at normal intervals, though there was no regularity including the Greek occasions. The track and industry occasions have now expanded plus the Olympics are getting to be a entire world function, but we must thank our ancestors who thought of these feat of power and prowess that regale us these days.jordan 12 2012
