When Shenyang Power Group in China and the U.S. Renewable Energy Group in Washington, D.C., along with Cielo Wind Power in Texas, announced a plan last month to build a 600-megawatt wind farm in Texas, they received a testy reception because most of the jobs that would created by this joint venture would go to China . Today, Shenyang Power's parent company and the wind turbine supplier, A-Power ...

... takes on the topic that has created a stir among clean energy and good jobs advocates in recent weeks: U.S. competitiveness in the global clean energy economy. The topic has come to the attention of green jobs advocates and policy makers alike, as media reports have emerged about plans by clean-tech companies to source many of their components from overseas. The Breakthrough Institute study, Rising Tigers, Sleeping Giant , finds that China, Japan and South Korea are poised to out-compete the United States for dominance of clean energy markets because those countries are ...
