(Huffington Post) WASHINGTON — This fall Rep. Cliff Stearns (R-Fla.) drew indignant headlines when he said “we can’t compete with China to make solar panels and wind turbines.” Turns out he’s right, in a way.
Days after Stearns made the remark, American solar panel manufacturers filed a complaint with the United States International Trade Commission and Department of Commerce, alleging Chinese manufacturers are illegally “dumping” their solar panels into U.S. markets, or selling their products below cost so as to drive international manufacturers out of business and eliminate competition. If this continues, manufacturers say, China will have a veritable monopoly on the process.
