global reliance on one market leads to supply bottlenecks and anti-competitive practices
a loss of domestic industry leads to less overall innovation, a loss of high-paying jobs and a reduction in the diversity of the industrial base
given the current American economy is tied to fossil fuel or adjacent industries, a failure to transition to clean industry may mean all those jobs, families, communities etc are at risk
development of solar in China has led to a host of quality and environmental issues in manufacturing; reversing that trend is much harder now that it is entranced than it would have been to stop at the outset.
Well, if the experience in Germany re solar cells is any indication of how the future might play out, there are several issues:
