Is this a legitimate gripe or a “dark money” move to manipulate the industry as a whole to shore up and enhance assets held by these same companies right now?

“Among the requests from Commerce is identification of the anonymous members of A-SMACC and their related operations to the solar industry. Commerce is also asking for the reasons why the anonymous members feel they will receive retaliation from the Chinese companies if they are named.”

I believe one issue was brought up by the article on the start up company, this company has problems finding small scale American supply chains to meet their manufacturing needs. These companies may be depending at some level on the Chinese solar PV supply chain to keep feeding their businesses, unfortunately if this is true, they’ve just shot themselves in their big floppy clown shoes over this move.
