Most of these comments are correct but they miss the issue. When China can make wind turbines and ship them to the United States for less than the cost of manufacturing here we have a serious problem that remains unaddressed. It was reported on ABC News that there will be thousands of manufacturing jobs in China and hundreds of jobs in the United States confirming this authorâ??s column.Congress did not write the law requiring those manufacturing jobs must be here. The reason is that the administration fears such a regulation will start a trade war. Trade wars were part of the problem during the Great Depression.Unless we negotiate understandings with other nations about our needs to retain manufacturing jobs in the United States, we are in for a long recessionary period in the United States.

Once again the "spend and borrow" Republicans that took the Clinton surplus budget, sent all jobs to China, caused huge deficits with their tax cuts, cut education, cut investments in cleantech energy R&D, gave us a trillion dollar debt with a trumped up war in Iraq that still has never unearthed any Weapons of Mass Destruction and gave us another Republican worldwide economic crash just like they did with Herbert Hoover at the helm. Republicans do now how to bring about economic crashes. They have a definite talent for that. That's why the U.S. has fallen behind in Cleantech.
