Given the example describing the Texas energy project, why can't these turbines be produced by US manufacturing companies and NOT the Chinese? If the US companies would just suck it up and start producing thier own products, then maybe we could start selling them overseas and build our economy back, not giving away my tax dollars to foreign manufacturers.

The challenge however, is to redefine our production of energy and reduce the demand for power, without hindering business development. The transition will not be easy but is essential if we are to tackle the problem of climate change Out of necessity comes opportunity and the rational response to climate change is to look towards the low carbon economy of the future New policies are being formed around the world to help create a low-carbon economy focused on reducing carbon emissions.

While the turbines would come from China, American workers would install the turbines and establish the farm on American soil." This is a fantastic project which could have been scuttled by this legislation. It would have forced the project investers to buy turbines that were built here. Instead, the chinese build the technology and our best and brightest dig the holes. What terrible legislation. This can't go on. In the future we must work to ensure that other countries build the machines and we continue to do the digging. Thanks for this. “Texas Wind energy project.
