Pure Fantasy On Green Manufacturing, Solar Jobs and The Mainstream Media
Pure Fantasy On Green Manufacturing, Solar Jobs and The Mainstream Media

Over the last 36 months, more than 100 new U.S. renewable energy and energy efficiency manufacturing plants have opened in the United States.

<snip>

The solar and renewable industries' sales went up during the economic meltdown. Sales and manufacturing capacity are increasing, not as fast as China, but steadily increasing. Component manufacturing, installation and service jobs have also increased dramatically in the United States.

It’s hard to watch, but I have been following these political and media follies for many decades. Clean energy CEO’s and analysts need to speak up so as not to leave an information vacuum. Time is on our side. The American public wants us and our costs are going down and performance quality going up in all the clean energy technology sectors.

Be bullish and unapologetic, go forth and set the record straight.

The article is a very good discussion, with examples, of the media's false narrative about green energy.

2. It's going on all over my So Cal neighborhood...
Different companies are being represented which makes me believe they are, also, competitive in pricing.

3. I wish our state had better incentives. And I am tired
of the saw that it isn't worth it.

5. Yippers. I'm joining our Democratic Club
even if it is called "The Women's Democratic Club" Yikes! I feel like the church auxilliary cleaning up after mass/mess.

We've been here almost 2 years and I'm settled enough to take on the next level and it is going to be a doozy. We need more Democrats at the local level. Everyone thinks that politics are top down, but of course, it's just the other way around. They get to the top by starting at the bottom and if we don't get our guys/gals in at that level we can't compete at the national.
