Like the Obama admin didn't know China existed and had a thriving solar industry when they passed out our $$$...???? A well know political thinker said many years ago something like: "The American political system will survive until the politicians find out they can BUY VOTES with other people's money....."
They fixed it, the US placed a 31% tariff on Chinese solar panels, far fewer people will install solar. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/18/b...s-on-chinese-solar-panels.html?pagewanted=all
Not to mention solar isn't as green as advertised and will do little if anything to get us off fossil fuel. "One thousand square miles. That is approximately how much public land energy companies want to bulldoze over the next few years in California for massive solar and wind facilities, according to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) list of pending and approved wind testing and solar applications. That is more than two times the size of Los Angeles, over four times the size of San Francisco, and more than 14 times the size of Washington D.C. But what would 1,000 square miles of solar and wind projects get us? Will it stop climate change? Not nearly. The proposed projects would generate 13.7 gigawatts of energy. That is less than a quarter of California's total energy generation capacity. Building fields of glass and metal the size of the cities they are meant to power does not make sense". http://www.mojavedesertblog.com/p/threats-to-public-land.html
