Let's build together America?


Good news followed by interesting news or business as usual

Let's build together America?

Bidders Line up for First US Offshore Wind Auction


Now that we are planning on building a lot of Wind Generators and building them off shore for the safety of birds and less noise to neighboring families, let us remember the massive amount of jobs this country should be thinking about. https://www.google.com/search?q=Factories+that+build+Wind+Generators?&sa=X&rlz=1G1SNNT_ENUS360&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&ei=6V20UajZFobY0QGzt4HwCQ&ved=0CJ8BELAE&biw=1522&bih=797

This government is handing out subsidies for all types of energy manufacturing, what about some help starting a business, building factories and schools to train and build  all of the equipment that goes along with installing the generators?

The potential for hundreds of small business and thousands of jobs for our own country is up to this country?

Our federal government is going to auction leases for offshore wind generators (good news). The federal government is allowing other countries to bid on the leases for our electricity, (not so good news)?

WHY?

One of the most important reason for alternative energy is to get out from under the control of big business.

Looking around this country at business owned by other countries.

Do you really believe that the price of power will be coming down because of this leasing to other countries companies?

 Overall, the United States is thought to have around 4,000 gig watts (or four million megawatts) of offshore wind potential.

That’s almost four times the country’s current electricity production of all types.

So far the government has nine companies looking at the leasing, at least two, France and Spain, the number one and number two energy companies in the world are bidders.

Who will be able to compete with them?

You can bet your last dollar that if one of those other countries win the bid, every piece of material and most of the jobs will be coming over while doing the construction.

Oh, like with the Keystone pipe line, we might get a few slave jobs out of all of this? All of these years that I have been pushing alternative energy it has always been with the intention of this country starting from scratch.

In other words, building companies to also make the products, material, training and  hiring the people that go with alternative energy, not to buy it from other countries that will also be selling our power to us?

Wake up America before it is too late?
