Did the toppings contain potassium benzoate?

The jobs created are short lived for wind farms. Several hundred are employed for a few months, but it only takes a few to monitor and service them after they are built.

Wait a minute. Obama is trying to create green jobs. Green. Green jobs. And there's a revolution in Iran called the green revolution. Green jobs, and green revolution. What the hell? Has anyone seen this connection? And China had Mao, and Mao had a red book, and red and green...my God, red and green. That's Christmas. Christmas...winter...November is in winter...the November Revolution? My God, what's going on here. Green...Mao...communism...Christmas. There's something here bigger than all of us. I can't see it all, it's too big. Stalin? The siege? Leningrad. Lenin. They burned Ukraine...Ukraine. K. There's a K in Ukraine. K. Kenya. Kenya! Christmas in Kenya...Mao...red...green...Lizards are green. Lizards...V. Aliens! Aliens! Holy hell, I'm not sure what's going on here, but this is bad. This is really bad.

Can I go now?

Hurray for Stimulus!!!

So are construction jobs. When you finish one, you move on to the next. I'm not sure I understand the point.

That said, we are really screwing the pooch with job creation in this country and I'm not sure there's anything Obama can do about it at this point. Our "loyal" corporations have sold us down the river in the name of profit and we let them, and now that China has gained their expertise, they're selling the corporations down the river. Circle of life.

Can we go now?

Glenn, is that you?!

The toppings are from China, so potassium benzoate should be the least of your worries.

Maybe those 30 USA jobs will get a COLA next year, so they will be *saved*.

If Krugman is right, and he usually is, we're going to need to create more jobs than we EVER have in 10 years just to get back to where we were in 2007.

I honestly don't know why anyone would want to be President or Treasury Secretary right now. What a shiat job.

It's going to take a LONG time to recover to anywhere near where we were and our patience is less than a 5 year old's. Even if you cut corporate tax rates to zero, what incentive is there for a company to hire in America right now when they can focus on Asia where they'll get a better ROI? Their median wages are rising while ours are stagnant or falling.

The Stimulus was a good band-aid as a short-term solution, but it's not meant to replace private sector spending permanently. We've got serious economic problems on our hands and we're all busy flinging poo at each other. Good times.

/Nice headline.

We are the Saudi Arabia of wind power, and I don't see the meek inheriting our earth any time soon.

Yup, here's your problem. Someone set China to "Evil".

How many public schools in China teach Creationism, do you suppose?

Education correlates to wealth higher than any other indicator, and unfortunately our country no longer values that commodity. It's "Socialist".

The Daily KOS just nuked the fridge.

... that's bad

do the chinese use lead paint on the wind farms?

Here's one reason why China might have an edge in the actual turbine manufacturing.


Tighter limits on production and exports - part of a plan by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology - would ensure China had the supply for its own technological and economic needs and force more manufacturers to make their wares in China in order to have access to the minerals.

In each of the past three years, China has reduced the amount of rare earths that can be exported. This year quotas are on track to be the smallest yet. But what is starting to alarm Western governments and multinationals is the possibility they will be further restricted.
...
China produces over 99 per cent of dysprosium and terbium and 95 per cent of neodymium. These are vital to many green energy technologies, including high-strength, lightweight magnets used in wind turbines, as well as military applications.

The positions require handling Potasium Benzoate

Good for them

only 30 for a 600 megawatt plant? It's not near as wasteful as I suspected. I'm not nearly as annoyed by these projects as I was 5 minutes ago. If so few people are needed to run them why the hell are the kilowatt hours so expensive then? Simply because all the down time when the wind is not blowing? Or are they just that more expensive to build than nuclear?
