The story, as told to me by a guy that is very connected in the US solar industry: 1) SolarWorld, a German company, filed a complaint with the US government. 2) A bureaucrat in DC thought it would be a good idea to take the complaint seriously. 3) Now growth in the solar industry, in both China and the US, may be hurt due to the possible trade war.
