Yesterday, Governor Granholm (D-MI) was in Saginaw along with Gov. Jim Doyle (D-WI) and U.S. Commerce Secretary Gary Locke, auto recovery czar Ed Montgomery and David Sandalow, assistant secretary of energy for policy and international affairs. They were in town to promote green jobs, millions of them according to Granholm. This from a woman who guaranteed a few years ago that Michigan would be blown away by the number of jobs created under her economic plans. The last time I looked we have been blown away indeed, back to the bottom of economic growth and prosperity. Thanks again Jennifer. And we are again asked to believe her words?
By the way, Sec. Locke said at this same meeting, that the federal government has stepped up to encourage the growth of alternative energy, such as awarding $1.3 billion to a dozen Michigan companies to produce electric batteries, but the nation needs a comprehensive plan to reap the potential. So let me get this strait. We are spending $1.3 billion on unproven green technologies without a plan? Terrific.
