Why Not Ohio? Spanish Wind Power Company Creates 1,100 Jobs in Pa.

I'd rather see jobs being IN-sourced to Pennsylvania from Spain, than
out-sourced overseas, from here!

I didn't know that the Governor had unilateral powers to put into motion any program that costs money by himself. I was always under the impression that the Governor could propose, but it was up to the state legislature to draft the legislation that set into motion the proposals.

Now granted that our current governor is lacking in too many ways to enumerate here, but where is the state legislature.

It is in their power to bring forward all of the Green Party's concerns, and it is further in their power to override the Governor's veto, so where are they? They talk the talk, but fail to walk the walk.

It's really kind of funny how Dennis buys into this hype. Here is Spain laying off thousands of "Green Industry" workers as they cut back on government subsidies to the wind power suppliers, and he wants to bring it here to Ohio. After having looted Europe to the breaking point these environmental nuts have found the offer of fresh blood from the American host promising, because of people like Dennis who promotes the 'green energy" scam. Just what Ohio needs, wind powered casinos.

Why Not Ohio? Spanish Wind Power Company Creates 1,100 Jobs

The Blue-Green Alliance reported the following:

=====================================================

When Troy Galloway, age 45, lost his job at a steel mill after 15 years of steady employment, he wasn't sure how he was going to make ends meet.

The region had already lost over 25,000 local steelworker jobs in the past few decades. The forecast for work employing his skill-set looked bleak. He tried real estate, which blew hot and cold, and then tried to "beat the bushes" for construction jobs. "After no work for January and February three years ago, my wife said: 'This is not working out.'"

Luckily for Galloway, the Spanish company Gamesa, the second-largest wind-turbine maker in the world, came to Ebensburg, Pennsylvania, to open up a new blade factory in response to the passage of a state RES. Galloway reasoned that the wind industry could provide him with stable and long-term employment, so he submitted his resume, and got a job. His previous experience operating machines was a nice fit for his present occupation, which makes the spars that serve as the backbone of wind turbine blades that span 150 feet.

"Now I not only have a good job, but a job that feels good," said Galloway. "Working in the wind power sector is a great opportunity to reduce our dependence on foreign oil, help the environment, as well as future generations, our children, and our children's children," he said. To top if off, he's making a little more money now. Since he was president of the local United Steelworkers union, he admires the pro-labor stance of Gamesa. "Even some of their management is unionized," he acknowledged.

Why Not Ohio? Why does not Ohio begin to employ thousands in the Blue-Green Energy field while Ted Strickland's love of dirty coal and nuke plants does not bring in jobs? Ted Strickland has hitched his wagon to those corporate lobbyists who do not create jobs. We need a Green Party Governor to bring more Blue-Green JOBS to the Buckeye state.
