“70% of solar panels are made in China, the vast majority of processing for various minerals is in China. China is not friendly to us, they’re the world’s biggest emitter, and I don’t care what kind of rhetoric they say, they have no intentions of decreasing those emissions. So, what are we going to do about that? Conservative solutions surround things like, let’s have better regulation and permitting processes in America, because we actually have those resources, and maybe we should process that. We should be honest about the carbon footprint of buying these things manufactured in China. Prosperity, energy security, and clean energy are the goals.”
