In the West Texas project, the grant is exporting jobs to a Chinese company for one project, on a one-time basis, to supply the turbines. I agree that is bad.
And in return the Chinese company is exporting the wind turbine technology to a US company as well as funding to build a facility in the US to manufacture the turbines in the future that will provide more jobs on more projects in the US and make the US more competitive. I think that is very good.
IMO, the very good outweighs the bad and the US is getting the better end of the deal in the long term.
