No doubt they'll be selling us 3nd rate solar panels with the installation instructions in pidgin Inglish (position panel collector where sky exposure to sunlight. Secure to fastener supplied with.).
But you have a point about foreign corporations. I'll take a multinational any day.

Yes, I think the Europeans use more nukes than we do but that's got nothing to do with the fact that Europe is also where all the progress is being made in photovoltaics , wind and tidal energy production. To the extent that we're doing anything with alternative energy, we're already getting most of the hardware from overseas.
Also, China may not be "green" but they've made a national commitment to becoming the leader in new technologies, both to become energy independent and to dominate the world market in those technologies.
