John F. Kerry, the special presidential envoy for climate, said only months ago that those losing fossil fuel jobs in coal and hydraulic fracturing will find they have a better choice in jobs in either the solar industry or as wind turbine technicians.

That was then. Now, a wind blade manufacturing plant located in Aberdeen, South Dakota has announced it is shutting its doors permanently in less than two months.

The disappearance of Molded Fiber Glass will displace over three hundred workers and their families. It marks another major loss of energy jobs in the state following President Joe Biden's halting of the Keystone Pipeline on the first day of his administration.

...7 of the top 10 wind turbine manufacturers are Chinese companies.

...more than half of the world’s newly installed wind power capacity was built in China in 2020.

There is 100 tons of coal in wind towers
the blades are made with oil and gas

Green Energy is very “dirty”
I still wonder, how the people got so bamboozled to believe in the green lies.
As we are shifting toward it, the energy gets more and more expensive. Pretty much only China and India will soon be able to make it!
European “green energy” equipment producers are out of business already, US are following them.

“South Dakota is in a drought.”

So, the decision that the conditions were too dry came from the president of the US instead of the local fire dept?

On federal land, it is a federal decision.
