The White House has announced a goal to train 75,000 workers in the solar industry by 2020, many of them veterans. "These are good-paying jobs that are helping folks enter the middle-class," President Barack Obama said on Friday at Hill Air Force Base in Utah. The plan will expand on the Department of Energy SunShot Initiative's Solar Instructor Training Network currently running at more than 400 community colleges. The White House also announced the Solar Ready Vets program aimed at helping veterans transition into the solar industry. A joint program between the Department of Defense and the DOE, it's currently being launched at 10 military bases across the country, including Hill Air Force Base and Camp Pendleton in California.

The last section of the training class will be on how to collect unemployment and food stamps. Be sure to stay for that, as it will be the only part you can actually use.
I don’t know of a single person who is investing in solar.
Money laundering ping.
The problem with training 75,000 solar workers lies in the utter uselessness of their labor. Solar power costs more than it's value. Solar power REDUCES wealth, it does not create wealth. The more solar power that is generated, the worse the economy becomes. No real businessman in his right mind would make such a decision.
Someone should tell Clown Prince nobama that he is under arrest.
I have a Republican friend in Arizona who's black, who I played golf with weekly before I moved to Florida. He emailed me requesting that I not send my negative images of Obama to him because he respected the president and the office of the presidency and we should give him a chance.
Well, lo and behold, a short while after the 2012 elections, he called me on the phone and said that he was wrong by giving Obama the benefit of the doubt and that the man respected the office of the presidency even less than he himself, as a citizen, did. He did not come out and say it directly, but implied that he was embarrassed that he had put so much stock in Obama because he was black and not enough in his socialist policies. He said he eventually realized that black had nothing to do with why he now hated Obama but that losing his good paying job because of Obama's economic policies and ObamaCare was the last straw.
He's back on my email list and will be voting Republican in the next election again.
What a waste.
Since Florida stopped all the utility mandated incentives the solar industry has ground to a halt.
Obama’s step two will be upp’ing the fed incentives and more free fed money for construction.
What the heck is a “Solar Worker”?
An installer: Carpenters and Electricians already do this job
Panel builder: An automated plant is the only way to be profitable in this business. The less people the better.
Semi fab worker: They need less people than panel builders.
I know someone who wasted a degree in Environmental Science.
Who comes up with these ideas?
“folks”
Drink!
“Going up on roofs in summer time to install solar panels? That can be brutal.”
No roofs aren’t the problem, it’s going in attics in the summertime that kills.
Good catch!
Training Gov workers...yea that will work
That’s gonna be on helluva commute.
HIS PLAN!!!!! This moron hasn’t had a plan . . . ever. The puppeteers have a plan and dumb a$$ signs it. Useless, lying and hypocritical is the only description us this bony phony. 2017 can’t get here fast enough and then we have to pay this bottom dweller of the democrat cesspool for the rest of his worthless life.
LOL..That’s a good one. We need a Save The Sun Initiative. The Solyndra, etc. climate-change schemes are just more mechanisms for bringing our democracy down.
Actually it’s quite simple. When you need your roof shingles replaced (20-25 years), you remove the solar panels and then re-attach them to the new roof. Ideally, you would want to coordinate getting your solar panels at the same time as your new roof. After 20-25 years, there will likely be more efficient solar panels to put on anyhow.
And if your house catches on fire, the fire department cannot help you because of the dangerous solar panels on your roof.
Well of course! You don't think there are any useful synapses left in that drug-addled Choom Gang brain, do you? Absolutely everything that comes out of those purple lips (other than when he deviates from the teleprompter) is written by ValJar.
“Many of them veterans”
Really, how many is “many”
...bony phony... Perfect! I have been looking for a good name for him. That is perfect. Especially since some folks in Chicago say he has ‘the slims’.
