Pipestone wind turbine plant laying off up to 160

A wind power company in southwestern Minnesota has announced it will eliminate 70 jobs this summer with another 90 layoffs possible by the end of September.

What? You mean Obama and Pelosi didn't create enough "shovel-ready" jobs to keep these people employed? It was all talk?

Maybe they can put a new GM plant there...

going green kils jobs

2 to 1

[concerned]

One of many wonderful stimulus packages that will fall flat. Obama and his gang are so out of touch.

[Bob the Bilderberg]

But .... those WERE "green" jobs.

[Lawyer]

As everyone knows this was unsustainable. We need to develope our sources of fossil fuels. There is no "alternative". It's a point of law.

Green jobs-

City of Bloomington MN put up solar panels

project cost $800,000
annual energy savings $15,000
financial payback 53 years.

[Bob the Bilderberg]

I think most of those employees were illegal mexicans anyway.

This sadly is why so many feel the Obama green job this and that is not solid reasoning..I am 100% for wind, solar and hydro power sources, yet with the rest of the world going nuclear while the US perpetuates an impossible ideal, we get left behind. This shovel ready bull from Obama..I didnt beleive it for a second. Sadlt, too many are still gazing with idolitry at this inept man and reason and reality are not within their grasp.

Hennepin county doesn't bother with facts like cost and payback. Its all about image and how it makes people feel.

The Obama economy isnt about jobs. Its about more dependence on the government. Its about more welfare, unemployment, subsidies, bail-outs, etc.

Unfortunatley the bill wont come due while he is in office. He will leave this country bankrupt.

Laughter at the ridiculousness of liberalism is the only silver lining we have right now. That, and the fact that conservatives are fully awakening from their apathy now.
Funny how Europe is now surging to the right. I guess they've had it with the corrupt, forced socialism and multiculturalism.
America will rise again from this pit we've been thrust into by Lib-cultism and ignorance, hopefully in my lifetime.

We need to re-learn our lesson as the people did during the Carter years-this is a replay.

The great green job magnet!!! What a farce. The technology can not compete, much like ethenol, unless it is greatly subsidized. This is why the Obama economic plan is failing. You spend two trillion dollars and get a net loss of jobs. To paraphase a line from the movie Casino. "This is the last time a guy like Obama will be put in charge of something this valuable"

Is this another getting foot in door and then shipping the jobs back to overseas? This make you go AHHHH!

Obama is trying to pay the bill that George junior left.
