For years now, the left has been pushing for green energy in America. However, some of the green companies funded by the left’s renewable energy push reportedly have troubling connections to China.

From Fox News:

A pair of major North American solar companies, including one touted by Senate Democrats in 2023, could face scrutiny over their ties to China.

While the feds have created barriers to Chinese firms flooding the solar market, many have found ways to localize operations in the U.S. or North America in a manner that allows for public investment and even deferential press coverage at times.

After then-President Joe Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act, Senate Democrats praised the law for its substantive investments in “green” energy, including solar. One company that received top billing was an Ontario-based firm that was founded by a Chinese entrepreneur and keeps much of its assets in China.

According to Fox, this company, Canadian Solar, was founded by Qu Xiaohua. Although it is based in Ontario, the company’s main operating arm is listed on Shanghai’s SciTech board. Additionally, a 2025 company filing with the SEC revealed that, due to Canadian Solar’s business in China, the CCP “may intervene or influence” the company’s operations.

Representative John Moolenaar, chairman of the House Select Committee on the CCP, recently sounded the alarm on green energy companies connected to China. He highlighted another Chinese firm called Gotion which, just like Canadian Solar, received taxpayer money as a result of the Inflation Reduction Act.

Fox also highlights another company known as Trina Solar, a subsidiary of a Chinese solar company of the same name. Trina Solar reportedly sold its Texas-based manufacturing assets to T1 energy, another company based in the U.S. but tied to China. The Chinese Trina Solar owns 16-25% of T1, allowing it a minimum of two board members.

Relying on companies tied to China and handing them taxpayer money is a threat to our national security. Now that the information is out there, let’s pray that our leaders take action and sever all ties to any company working with the CCP!
