Sounds like the US government is trying to bankrupt another americian company so they can take over.

Indeed. But when one parent says enough is enough and wants to bring back the vegies, it is a good thing, There ARE American wind turbine manufacturers, large and small.

Every American who wants to see taxpayer dollars go to American companies for American jobs needs to contact their congressman, of any political persuasion, and tell them to support Sen Schumer on this.

Apparently this Texas company thinks that the US has continued to move westward and China is a 51st state.

I've emailed Schumer and my reps already.

Thanks, David, for this thread.

They should be giving this money to US companies who have invented new more efficient wind turbines than the "traditional" wind turbines.

MagLev Wind Turbine
MagLev wind turbines, the next generation of wind turbines is capable of generating power from wind speeds as low as 1.5 m/s and reported to operate in winds reaching 40 m/s. This large wind turbine from maglev industries will also increase generation capacity by 20% at the same time decreasing operational costs by 50% over the traditional wind turbine. Maglev also claims that this particular turbine will be operational for 500 years, a staggering claim.



In this video they claim that just ONE of these turbines could generate as much power as 500 "traditional wind turbines!



MagLev Wind Turbine company

Instead the US will probably be purchasing THOUSANDS of "traditional" turbines from China.
