Looks to me like Andy is creating excuses for another failure to meet projected goals.

Contradiction with announce job fair in Spokane last Friday.

One would think that a forward looking CEO, would have an idea on how many units he was planing to build in a calendar year and would have contracted a price for the materials needed to build those units far in advance of production.

If the product is so environmentally good and economical for the end user one would think welfare (special tax break) would not be needed to sell them and a slight rise in selling price do to a tariff would discourage potential buyers.

Remember, all products including those of PLUG competitors will also be victims of any tariffs and their production cost will also be rising.

I did not like the NYT story at all.

Will Andy be using these excuses when margins are impacted and we don't go EBITDA break-even?

Will Andy be using these arguments when earnings miss or losses grow?

Andy has promised much for the second half of 2018, and I would not be surprised to see yet another promise go unfulfilled.
