It's unfortunate that this has become something of a mantra in here...

"That is why, although consumer demand for solar power has incrementally increased here, it has not been enough for anyone to have Applied Materials — the world’s biggest solar equipment manufacturer — build them a new factory in America yet. So, right now, our federal and state subsidies for installing solar systems are largely paying for the cost of importing solar panels made in China, by Chinese workers, using hi-tech manufacturing equipment invented in America.

I considered putting some money into solar stocks, and all of them that I found that were rapidly increasing, even in this economy, were Chinese companies. This can go two ways...one is that we are sending money and technology over there and losing it ourselves, and the other is that we as Americans can still invest in their growth, and regain some of that lost capital on a personal level
