Dear Senator Shumer and American University::
Senator Shumer, you seem like you have your heart in the right place, I just cannot understand HOW you can continue to ignore the FACTS of the poorly written article by American University reporting that 79% of the money for stimulus to wind power goes overseas?????? Lets use the four VESTAS Wind Turbine plants here in Colorado. Yes, Vestas is a foreign company operating four large wind turbine facilities here in Colorado employing about 3000 USA workers in four cities here in Colorado. IF Vestas receives any stimulus money for building a wind farm in the USA, the jobs are all USA and the folks cashing their checks at Safeway to buy their groceries are all employees of a ”’foreign”’ company so the lousy , patheticcally written American University would falsely place 100% of the money going overseas. Whats wrong with this report by American University ??
Which part of this FACT do you , Senator Shumer and American University, quite not comprehend ??? And American University , you should be ashamed of your interns running wild making all kind of claims that are just totallly false and poorly written and if your only mission for this poorly researched report was to make noise and create “”NOISE”" among American readers of this report, well, as George Bush would say “”"”MISSION ACCOMPLISHED”"”!
I could cite numerous foreign companies with numerous wind turbine facilities that are scatterred across the USA employing American workers building wind turbines but seems American University just wants to make noise instead of reporting facts. And Senator Shumer, have you apologized to your other Senators you drug into this poorly written article trying to change something that does not need to be changed?? And YES American University, the 79% money going to overseas is correct but you seem to forget the facts that most of these foreign companies have USA workers an USA facilities . But, why let FACTS get in the way of a China xenophobic poorly written factually false article ????
And, given the China wind farm that most want to scream bloody murder about, nobody above has reported the ”’FACTS” that 70% of the jobs for this huge green wind farm FINANCED by the chinese would be USA jobs and USA components built in USA on American soil by American workers. So, lets report some facts and get away from the non global world we live in where we do NOT require Toyota to build a 100% usa car to receive stimulus money ???????
A Job is a JOB is a JOB………..and trying to torpedo 85,000 USA Wind power workers for a pathetically written article from American University is almost criminal in my book.
PS Sorry for my attitude but I am SICK and TIRED of reading garbage being used to try and stir Joe SixPack to action thinking he is creating American Wind Jobs when in fact, Joe Shumer Sixpack is going to torpedo the infant USA Wind business at birth before it truly gets going cause if Vestas and Gamesa and Iberdrola and Siemens do NOT get the stimulus money they are supposed to get, you can kiss your Windy Jobs business good bye from USA soils. Those foreign companies will close their plants so fast it will make your head spin. And I could NOT blame them one bit!
