Tanya Lewis, assistant editor at Scientific American, discusses the new tax the Trump administration recently placed on imported solar panels. She weighs in on what the decision means for the U.S. economy and for the consumer. Some are deriding the tariff as a "job killer" and others are saying the move, meant to protect U.S. manufacturers, may not be as bad as some think. Lewis talks about Trump's first year in office and the impact his administration has had on science. Since taking office, Trump has pulled out of the Paris Climate Agreement and scaled back national monuments.
