Virginia communities oppose Energix solar projects

The Israeli company Energix Renewable Energies has been lavishly subsidized by U.S. solar energy tax credits and the cadmium telluride solar panel manufacturer First Solar.

But Energix has also been listed by the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights as a category g human rights violator over its resource theft in the Israeli occupied West Bank and Golan Heights.

Virginia communities have successfully challenged Energix across the commonwealth for over its importation of "worst practices" from its overseas operations.
