Amoral, underhanded, and mean. In other words, business as usual. This is what all this "eco" stuff is really about: money. We've seen this all before, stuff like that is happening all over the world on a regular basis.

This has nothing to do with India's solar policy, it is a trade dispute, apparently India entered into an agreement that it would not prefer it's own industry over foreign (USA) industry. the dispute is over India's sourcing policy, not allowing American solar companies to compete with Indian ones.
