“Clean tech has seen a boost as the US pours government funding into renewable energy, and China looks to reap much of the benefits. Latest example is a Chinese wind-turbine company which is the exclusive supplier for one of the largest wind-farm developments in the US,” reports Jeremy Hsu. He adds, “This comes as the US has increasingly out-sourced much of its wind turbine development. Less than a quarter of wind turbine components installed in the US came from domestic production.” Just 15 percent of the 2,800 new jobs from wind turbine development will take the form of US jobs.
