It's interesting that all you conservatives talk about is "Solyndra" and not the two wars or the drug benefit that hasn't been paid for by GW Bush. Comparatively speaking, at least Solyndra was for the American People, and at much less cost. If it not for the unfair trade from China to subsidize their solar panel production, Solyndra may have survived. AS a matter of fact, Solyndra is now suing China on this very subject.
We still don't have the detail on how Romney can "create" 12-million jobs in four years. That converts to 250,000 new jobs every month.
I have a very simple question when there's a world recession; how?
How many jobs will the pipeline - if it ever gets government approval create?
And who will pay for that pipeline?
The developers ( the Canadian & U.S> oil companies which proposed the project) would have paid for it. The multi year construction project itself would have created many thousands of new jobs in this country precisely iun areas hard hit by unemployment.
Moreover, the project would have lowered the cost of delivering the right variety of Petroleum to U.S. refineries in Louisiana and Texas that otherwise will import heavy crude from Venezuela at much higher cost - a cost that will eventually reflect itself in the price of gasoline here.
Authorizing oil and gas extraction on the vast federal lands out west would have an even greater beneficial economic effect, and would, as, well, lower our imports and improve our balance of payments and reducing our trade deficit. That means less borrowing from China.
The reliability of these actions in improving our economy and environment is vastly greater than the idiotic subsidies Obama has provided to solar power developers. Absent large federal subsidies there is NO significant market for solar power. It is far from ready for prime time because it's real costs are more than three times those of coal, gas or nuclear power..
