This isn't a problem with solar or alternative energy specifically, though. What it points to is a problem in the currency manipulation of China, which makes their goods cheaper. Then of course, there is their unlimited supply of cheap labor. That's not something we will be able to compete with unless we have an immigration reform that allows masses of Mexicans to enter our labor force with a path to citizenship.

So once again, I think we can solve those problems and even compete with India and China on labor, but we don't have the political will do so. That will mean all sorts of manufacturing jobs will continue to get off-shored, including those in alternative energy.
