22. What is killing US solar panel manufacturers is China's commitment to be #1 in this industry
and they are pouring billions into the industry to bring prices down below the entire world and not allowing competition in this particular industry. You know, like what we do with cotton and other commodities. Bad on China's part is they are 1 cog to 1 machine, with no new innovation. There has been some in bringing more watts per panel, but they are too expensive to make here - supposedly.

I do wish a Democrat would stand up and state that Solyndra's application started in 2005, and it not was fast tracked through when Obama was inaugurated. Once again, another media fail by our illustrious party.
