Senators Demand Investigation Into Possible Chinese ‘Kill Switches’ in US Power Grid

Date:

The lawmakers said they were alarmed by reports that communist China ‘has already compromised the integrity of power inverters connecting to [U.S.] power grid.’

Two Republican senators are urging the Commerce Department to launch an immediate investigation into Chinese-made solar products, given the possibility that the Chinese regime could weaponize them to undermine U.S national security.

Sens. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) and Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) sent a letter on June 4 to Under Secretary of Commerce for Industry and Security Jeffrey Kessler, pointing to reports disclosing rogue components inside Chinese solar power inverters.
