China Probes US Renewable Energy Policy

Posted by samzenpus on from the good-for-the-goose-good-for-the-gander dept.

PolygamousRanchKid writes "China's Commerce Ministry on Friday announced an investigation into U.S. government policy and subsidy support for renewable energy, after a U.S. decision earlier this month to probe sales of Chinese-made solar panels in the United States. 'The Ministry of Commerce has decided to initiate a trade barrier investigation into policy support and subsidies for the U.S. renewable energy sector,' a statement on the ministry's website (www.mofcom.gov.cn) said. The announcement said Chinese companies argued that the U.S. policies 'constitute a trade barrier against the export of Chinese renewable energy products to the United States.'"

    the probe of US currency rigging. I heard whenever their banks are about to fail, they just print money to make sure it doesn't happen. Scandalous.

    When we do it it's protecting our industry, when the rest of the world does it, suddenly "OMG unfair trade barriers!".

    Won't somebody please think of the free market?

    Fun Correction: The program to make the loans was approved under the Bush Administration, they money ended up in Solyndra's hands after the Obama administrations "expedited" the lending approval process.

    What is it with Democrats and always trying to lend money to unqualified borrowers?
