A good job is a good job! Even if America wants to keep their head in the sand about the ultimate decline of oil, why not get the jobs and products that other countries are grabbing? Other countries are just cleaning our clock on these jobs. The manufacture of solar panels is IMO going to be a commodity business that will most likely go to a low labor country. We have funded more battery companies than the market can possibly support. Bankruptcies are inevitable. As for wind mills - let GE decide where the best place to manufacture them is. The green energy jobs in America will come from the design, construction and operation of the facilities - just like any other capital project. It is also likely that our international engineering companies will sell projects around the world - just like they do other process facilities. The whole thing was done Obama Stupid - as in simply throwing a ton of money out there to show how much he "cares" - and the waste and wreckage that comes later be damned. After all - he has no concept - NONE - of what it takes to build a commercial venture. Waste and bankruptcies are the inevitable legacy of idiotic spending by an economic idiot. If you feel we must have a solar panel industry - then come out and you want protectionism - perhaps we should - but then what do the others shut off from us. Bob
