LIVE VIDEO: Obama at Orion Energy Systems in Manitowoc
He seems to think when we in Wisconsin think about 'green and gold' it is making money off 'green energy' .. Actually it is the Packers......
If you want just one example of what is wrong with Obama and his idea on how to grow the economy it is Orion. A company of 225 people has the former Mayor of Manitowoc as their Vice President of Business Development and Government Affairs.
How many small companies can afford to have a person dedicated to gov't affairs(Ie getting gov't cash)? Orion owes its existence now to gov't tax breaks and contracts and is another typical example of gov't choosing winners and losers.
that green industry crap worked so well in Spain...
and in CA...

Obama is now on his way to BWEN, the windmill tower company. Perfect metaphor for our tilting at windmill Don Quixote POTUS. BWEN’s stock has gone from $25 two years ago to $2 today. Company has never made money, and likely would be out of business without the huge gov’t subsidies for wind energy.
I noticed the POTUS used to talk about Spain and alternative energy when he first got elected, but now that the Spanish alternative energy industry has crashed in a wave of fraud and huge costs, he is stragely silent about the topic.
He should ask the folks at Tower Tech how many of their co-workers were laid-off in the past 6 months due to the effects of his much-touted “stimulus”.
...and just how many birds do those windmills destroy :(
