Obama Visits Corporation Where His Stimulus Created 'Green' Jobs at $2 Million Per Job Thursday, August 11, 2011 By Fred Lucas
(CNSNews.com) – President Barack Obama on Thursday toured a vehicle battery plant in Michigan, touting his administration’s focus on green technology and jobs, at a corporation where federal money authorized by the economic stimulus law that Obama signed at the beginning of his presidency had created "green" jobs at a cost of about $2 million in federal subsidies per job.
Obama told the employees of Johnson Controls Inc., in Holland, Mich., gathered at the factory that they represented how America can come out of a recession by making products that can be sold around the world.
“Look what’s happening in Holland, Mich.,” said the president. “Every day, hundreds of people are going to work on the technologies that are helping us fight our way out of this recession. Every day you’re building high-tech batteries so that we lead the world in manufacturing the best cars and the best trucks -- that just doesn’t mean jobs in Michigan. You’re buying equipment and parts from suppliers in Florida and New Mexico and Ohio and Wisconsin, all across America.”
Yup and when the markets don't want that crap they pass BS laws like the light bulb bill there to force it on us, and some wonder why our country is falling apart
"In the beginning of a change, the Patriot is a scarce man, brave, hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, however, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a Patriot."
I've been seeing TV adds lately showing that for every 2 homes sold it creates one job! I must be pretty thick in the head, because I do not understand that?
JUST BECAUSE SISSY SAYS SO DOESN'T MAKE IT SO...BUT HE THINKS IT DOES!!!!! JUST BECAUSE MC1 SAYS SO DOESN'T MAKE IT SO!!!!!
No wonder in the latest polls the more people oppose pathetic Obama. Green jobs-lol, The same crapola we have been fed by Taxin Tonko, McCarthy and Death Ray for years. We need blue collar jobs not more BS green jobs.
Just think.. at 2 million, you could have just as well given that money to one person @ $50,000 per year for 40 years and been the same amount ahead.. AND the person can stay home and not pollute the earth with their dirty car!

Green jobs are created with dirty systems already set up.....rhetoric rhetoric rhetoric......oh yeah, our skirts feel that breeze from all those green fans being blown out of the 'leaders' mouths.....
define green define organic define responsibility define survival define value
the list is endless...ah the fluff and stuff that make up our paunchy leaders of today....there's not a long-house hippy teepee big enough to fit the whole country in....not to mention not enough drugs to keep us all 'happy together'....oh wait,,,,there ARE enough drugs, just look at those commercials all over TV....
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
STOP BEING GOOD DEMOCRATS---STOP BEING GOOD REPUBLICANS--START BEING GOOD AMERICANS
Evergreen Solar files for bankruptcy, plans asset sale By Herald Staff Monday, August 15, 2011 - Updated 7 minutes ago EmailE-mail PrintablePrint Comments(61) Comments LargerSmallerText size Bookmark and Share Share
Evergreen Solar Inc., the Marlboro clean-energy company that received millions in state subsidies to build an ill-fated Bay State factory, has filed for bankruptcy.
Evergreen, which closed its taxpayer-supported Devens factory in March and cut 800 jobs, has been trying to rework its debt for months. The company announced today it is seeking a reorganization in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware and also reached a deal with certain note holders to restructure its debt and sell off certain assets.
The company also said it will lay off another 65 jobs in the United States and Europe, mostly through the shutdown of its Midland, Mich., manufacturing facility. That would leave Evergreen with about 68 workers according to a headcount listed in the bankruptcy filing.
“Chapter 11 will provide Evergreen Solar with the ability to maximize returns for our stakeholders through the proposed sale process,” Evergreen CEO Michael El-Hillow said in a statement. “Importantly, we expect to continue our technology development without interruption during Chapter 11 and the sale process.”
Evergreen secured a $58 million financial aid package from the Patrick administration to help build the $450 million Devens factory. The state has been trying to recoup about $4 million in cash from the company, the once-promising poster child of the governor’s clean-energy economic agenda.
The list of top creditors in today’s bankruptcy filing lists a $1.5 million debt to MassDevelopment.
