Deep in the Heart of Texas, a Chinese Wind Farm Raises Eyebrows "Members of Congress fear Beijing could use the facility for espionage and economic warfare. But the Trump administration is set to let it move forward."
Chinese-Owned Wind Farm Proposed Near U.S. Military Base
"The project would put wind turbines at the Blue Hills Wind development, just a few dozen miles from the U.S.-Mexico border and near Laughlin Air Force Base."
"The Trump administration will not block a Chinese-owned company from building a wind farm in Texas near the Air Force’s largest pilot training base, a person familiar with the decision told Foreign Policy, allowing a project to move forward that lawmakers fear could be used to spy on American troops, disrupt flight routes, and give Beijing a foothold in the U.S. electrical grid."
"The decision comes after an analysis from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), a panel of different federal agencies that examines the impact of foreign investments in the United States, found that the wind farm does not currently pose a national security concern."
" But GH America Energy, the U.S. unit of a Chinese firm, must still mitigate the impact of wind turbines that could interfere with low-level flight training routes at Laughlin Air Force Base. Those plans are currently under review in a separate process led by the Air Force and the Defense Department’s Military Aviation and Installation Assurance Siting Clearinghouse."

Why China is buying up Oklahoma and Texas
"In October 2014, executives from the Chinese technology company Lenovo celebrated their acquisition of Motorola by eating a deep-dish pizza in Chicago. The very same month, a little-known Chinese insurance company announced its intention to purchase the historic Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York City."
Now I refer BACK to my earlier post from CodeMonkeyZ:
Under the guise of the Covid Emergency, Colorado State purchased 2.4 million dollars worth or “emergency laptops” for employees across many sectors.
These laptops were sourced from Lenovo, a Chinese company headquartered in Beijing.https://t.co/OsgJytfamO— Ron (@CodeMonkeyZ) December 5, 2020
Not to worry. The 2018 EO will give it all back to US.
From the article:
“...lawmakers fear could be used to spy on American troops, disrupt flight routes, and give Beijing a foothold in the U.S. electrical grid.”
A foothold in the u.s. electrical grid.
TX has its own electric grid, with the exception of a small portion of the Panhandle, which is on the central US grid.
