Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick called for energy executives to appear before a Texas Senate committee after the release of information that purported to show Chinese investments in solar panel companies operating in the state.
The statement from Patrick came over the weekend. He highlighted a Fox News report, writing that in 2026 he plans to hold a hearing in the Senate Committee on Business and Commerce to hear “from the executives of these solar companies so they can answer questions about their connections to communist China.”
