Some big news items for your day. Hillary Clinton did the right thing that may actually hurt in some swing states by coming out against the Keystone pipeline. Still the right move so good for her, clearly another donor/Podesta influenced decision. REC Silicon, the poly manufacturer in Washington State, may close the plant after already stopping an expansion. Why? Because China has a tariff on poly imports because we have a tariff on module imports. This directly counters the jobs saved in Oregon by Qatari owned SolarWorld.
