Hell No! We Won’t Send Our Tax Dollars to China

Is everyone posting here forgetting who is fronting most of the $1.5 billion? The Chinese are fronting most of the money to build a wind farm, not in their own country, but in Texas.

The article states that the European countries were shut out in Chinese turbine projects. But I doubt, the European countries paid for any of the wind farms in China.

In the end, if the Chinese are forced to pay the whole amount of the Texas wind farm, then they have no incentive to build them here in the US. They might as well build them in China.

And if people want the turbines in the Texas wind farm to be made in the US, then really, the US federal government should foot the whole bill and respectfully decline China's involvement AND funding.

The whole ruckus over this makes no sense to me at all.
