Can anyone explain the alternative fuel and new technology part of the stimulus bill?
OK, I know that this will allot for jobs for many sceintists researchers and technology professionals the problem is I don’t really see scientist and researchers in unemployment lines.
To steal a point form Obama’s visit to Indiana yesterday… how is alternative fuel and new technology bail out money going to provide jobs to the thousands of laid off workers in Elkhart IN? Are the many blue collar workers and retail workers that are flooding the unemployment offices? Are you seeing the disconnect? I’m not trying to be overly critical but do you see the obvious crack in this thing?
Blueberry, sweetie, I am not not insupport of Obama, I voted for him but I will not do what republicans did when bush was in power and just write the guy a blank check because of his party affiliation. He needs to SLOW DOWN! The fact of the matter is that the point you made is a good point but the timing is bad. Gas prices and all of that crap has very little to do with putting unemployed low skilled labor back to work and that is the point of what we are trying to do. There will be a time for energy issues, the time is just not now!
No,,,,, but this will expand government, and UNION jobs only.
When universities get big grants to provide specific research, then those universities give the result the government wants.
And then we have another crisis that only government can solve.

well there’s blue collar jobs involved that work under those positions. Somebody has to work at the (recycling) green plant, manage the place and drive trucks and stuff.

Well as far as my industrie is concerned alternative energy is a big pay day to about 200 people(some engineers, sales people, managers, supervisors, HR, payroll, and mostly welders and machine operators) We have a plant that is going to be building wind towers. The 200 number only includes our plant employees. So then you add in other companies that will supply us with products and raw materials, truck drivers, people to get the thing set up, crane operators, and the list goes on. Soon the number of people with NEW jobs is actually pretty high considering we are only one little plant. We haven’t actually hired anyone outside of management yet because we are waiting to get an order from another company. Guess what they are waiting on, you got it, they are waiting to see if there is going to be a push for alternative energy. A good indicator would be government or private funds investing in alternative energy.
Unfortunately for me I like the part about infrastructure, alternative energy, tax cuts, and some other stuff, however there is way too much pork in the bill for my taste, but I could be wrong energy independence might seem like pork to other people. So I guess only time will tell.
By the way we don’t have unions in our plant, we are in the south and union guys tend to do better up north. (I think it becuase it is too hot down here for cold hearted thieves like union reps and such)
