The point is that green jobs don't exist.....(except in small parts)....We need to create jobs, not green jobs....when the economy is back on track and we do not have rampant unemployment, then, we should look at how to create demand for green products. My fear is that that demand will be created by regulation, rather than by true and cost effective solutions.

Small businesses create jobs here in the USA.
They are afraid to do anything with Obamacare and Cap & Trade hanging over their heads. Obama is doing everything wrong.
I predict by November 1 ,2010 the unemployment rate will be 11%
and the GOP will take control of the House and the Senate.

bring back George W. Bush! This Obama economic quagmire must
go now!
It's not all bad news.
Ford is doing well.
They said "No thanks." to Team Obama.
Their stock price is over $11 a share.

The point isn't the turbines, the turbines can be placed anywhere, the point is building the turbines, building the turbines creates jobs, jobs that people in the rust belt desperately need.
And do you know what happens if they build turbines and put them places? Those turbines need maintenance, (jobs) those turbines need parts (jobs) those turbines create power (jobs)
so what is wrong with building turbines?
If we are on the subject of power, they say a hundred square miles of desert is all we would need to put up enough solar panels to power this entire country until the sun burned out. But realistically we know this country will grow and those panels will need maintenance and repair. This all equates to more jobs for Americans.
And isn't jobs for Americans the point?

I understand the concept here. But if the govt. provides the seed money who is paying for parts, supplies, maint. etc. That has been the problems with these stimulus plans. When the money is gone its gone.
