So either way, you have the Chinese built the turbines to your BOM (Bill of Materials) and specs or you build it here in the USA in some unionized shop by some over paid, under educated American that does not give a rats ass about anything but their pay check, and those same workers build the turbines to some specs that us foreign engineers came up with here in the US…

Its a pretty picture, ain’t it.

Seems like being a Doctor or an Engineer was THE thing to be in the USA a long time ago, then via social engineering that attitude changed to “Here for a good time, not a long time”

Wake Up America – Foreigners are out pacing you in terms of Engineering Degrees hand over fist!

BTW – they are not cracker jack degrees from Ebay, many foreign nationals are getting their Masters and Doctorates right here in the USA!

/rant off!

I remember when President Obama spoke at the Trinity Structural Towers Company on Earth Day and at many other occasions of our own clean energy development that cannot be offshored; so I disagree with Fred Glynn. It’s no excuse or argument that the disasterous Bush administration harmed this counry a lot more. On the other hand I strongly agree with Captain Morgan and John Galt.

That may be OK for a coffee maker or a bicycle, but if the Chinese windmill lasts only half a long as an American or European unit, it would have to be half the price, minus the re-installation and disposal costs, to compete. I don’t think it’s a very good idea for the Federal govt. to get involved with backing Chinese loans. Loans to put Americans to work help generate tax revenues that help the country, if lawyers and Texans don’t get involved. Maybe there will be some answers in how the Chinese do business with the resolution of the issue of sulfide contaminated (toxic) drywall bought bought by wise suburb builders for the lowest price.

None of the Chinese jobs will be permanent, so forget that angle. Once the turbines are shipped, that’s it. What you should be thinking about are the hundreds of billions of dollars that will remain in the United States instead of being shipped off to Bush family friends in Saudi Arabia like the bin Laudens–since we’ll no longer be using oil to power our generators.

So, that’s 30 permanent jobs in the U.S. and a few thousand for the Chinese turbine manufacturers. What a joke! How about a little nationalism and support for U.S.-based manufacturing? I guess even the greenies run to China for cheap manufacturing these days. Boo!!!
