ARVADA, Colo., Nov. 21 (UPI) -- The U.S. energy secretary said during a tour of a solar manufacturing plant in Colorado that global competition in the green energy sector was "fierce."
"We can accept defeat and watch the solar jobs go to China, Germany and other countries, or we can get in the game and play to win, creating jobs in Colorado and across the country," he said in a statement from a GE solar manufacturing plant in Colorado.
