China Blocks a US Solar Supplier

In what appears to be no-win situation for the American company First Solar, a Mongolian order to provide panels for a giant solar plant has been squashed by the Chinese government.

The order was written in November of 2009 to great fanfare, coinciding with President Obama’s visit to China.  Only, once the US delegation left and it became time to start construction, the Chinese reviewed that order.

Now, it looks like First Solar is out, and Chinese manufacturers are in.

So, call your Congress person and demand that the US implement a huge tax on Chinese panels coming into the US.  That will make China really think before they close out US manufacturers from their marketplace.
