U.S. has energy trade surplus with China
According to Pew's research, the U.S. solar industry held a $913 million trade surplus with China in 2011, the same year that Solyndra went bankrupt. [...] U.S. "energy smart technologies" - a catch-all category Pew used to survey makers of advanced batteries, light-emitting diodes and electric cars - scored a $571 million trade surplus with China. U.S. companies sell to China items that require advanced engineering, such as electronic control systems and manufacturing equipment. American authorities have slapped import tariffs on Chinese solar panels, and the Chinese government has threatened to retaliate. The high-profile bankruptcy of Solyndra, which made tube-shaped solar modules, came in part due to competition with Chinese firms. Reported by SFGate 1 hour ago.
