America’s solar companies and workers are up against the wall right now. A special interest group backed by several Chinese companies with millions of dollars is working overtime to undermine both American made solar and the U.S. trade enforcement system. Investigations by the Commerce Dept. are being campaigned against by solar importers who don’t want to lose access to these subsidized importers which could be using forced labor for example.
If the U.S. refuses to enforce its trade laws it will make us even more reliant on China. It also will make us far less energy independent.
Senator Baldwin’s bill is critical to U.S. solar panel sustainability considering the foreign competition.
