Chinese Green Energy Products in the Crosshairs of the Obama Administration

Recent testimony before the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources revealed that China’s capacity to generate clean energy far outstrips its use in China. Although China has made the largest investment of any country in products to produce clean energy, according to the testimony, a massive 95 percent of the production has been exported.
