Sen. Brown Op-Ed: How China threatens Toledo industry
The Toledo Blade – THE summer is over, but the sun is still shining on Toledo. Northwest Ohio – and Toledo in particular – have achieved remarkable success in the field of solar energy. More than 6,000 Ohioans are employed in this 21st-century industry.
But if we don't enforce trade laws – especially with China, which is on track to make half of the world's wind turbines and solar panels – America will lose clean-energy jobs and innovation.
Toledo is at the forefront of our nation's race to lead the world in clean-energy production, thanks in large part to companies home-grown by the University of Toledo's Clean and Alternative Energy Incubator and workers trained at Owens Community College's Green and Alternative Energy program.
