A massive 600-megawatt wind farm will be built in West Texas in a “joint venture” project. The major investors are a shell company using stimulus money (U.S. Renewable Energy Group), a China investment group (A-Power Energy Generation Systems), a Chinese wing turbine manufacturer (Shenyang Power Group), and a Austin-based wind developer (Cielo Wind Power).

The 240 wind turbines manufactured by China will create 2,000-3,000 jobs in China, using the gearbox design of General Electric (parent company of NBC, that provided unequal time free coverage of the Obama campaign). The project will create jobs for Americans, estimated to be 300 temporary construction jobs, and 30 permanent jobs.

China also exports to the United States about 95% of all its manufactured solar energy panel components. Creating more income for China and jobs for their citizens.

The United States has numerous wind turbine manufacturers, why are they not receiving the stimulus money? Oh, I forgot American corporations are greedy and only benefit the wealthy CEO’s and American finance industry.

I wonder will the Obama Administration include the Chinese jobs as new jobs created by “The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009”?

Why is stimulus money, American taxpayers money, being spent for jobs in China?

  • Hating President Obama is no reason to be uninformed. We began investing in China in the mid 70's long before President Obama came along. Jobs leaving this country for places like China have been happening for decades.
    If you have worked for or benefited from a product made by a major US company you have stimulated the Chinese economy.
    If you use a computer, drive a car, watch television, buy clothes, live in a house, then you have supported the Chinese economy.
    The Chinese economy is doing fine because our major US companies are now global companies and will do business where it brings the most profit.
    The trade US, China trade deficit as well as US debt to China is the real issue of concern that have been with us for decades.
    Hating President Obama will not fix these problems.
    Until we learn to look beyond the hate, our country will never find solutions that work. If you learn to love President Obama God will love you too.

  • Since it would appear that at least half of the "saved" jobs are imaginary, including counting raises for government employees as jobs "saved", what reason would one have to believe that this administration would NOT count 3,000 Chinese jobs as jobs "saved"?

  • yes, once again I am sure the US does not have the manpower to work on a project this size...they are all to busy drawing unemployment with a national rate of 10.2%
