Partly as result of that depreciation, Alstom and other large firms with global exposure are taking a fresh look at the U.S. as an attractive location for new facilities.

French companies, building turbines in the U.S., using illegal Mexican alien labor. What interesting times we live in.

Building turbines requires the precision of a fine Swiss watch in a 100 ton package. Sorry, the folks who build them are very highly paid skilled craftsmen, not illiterate minimum wage wet backs.

If someone wants to invest the billions of dollars necessary to establish such a factory in the US, and hire Americans to do the job, I welcome them with open arms.

Frankly, the knee jerk stuff I see here opposing foreign investment in the US is mystifying.
