The Chinese aren't adhering to any environmental precautions in their manufacturing, so one could argue that preventing the proliferation of cheap Chinese solar might actually help the environment.

That's a slightly outdated impression. This isn't the China of 1980 or even 2000; they've cleaned up quite a bit.

Well that's really good news to hear, considering how much of the global pollution was generated by their manufacturing.. Thanks for sharing.
