    Interview with Jigar Shah, President of the Coalition for Affordable Solar Energy (CASE)

    Interview with Jigar Shah, President of the Coalition for Affordable Solar Energy (CASE)
    Jigar Shah, President of the Coalition for Affordable Solar Energy (CASE) and co-founder of SunEdison, talks about the anti-subsidy and anti-dumping trade case against China. He argues that if China loses the case, that won’t bring solar panel manufacturing back to the U.S. But it will increase the price of solar panels, which will reduce demand and cost American jobs in installation, distribution, sales and marketing, and other downstream activities. An interview with ChinaGlobalTrade.com Director Molly Castelazo, recorded April 2012.
