Is the US shipping green jobs overseas? We took a quick look at the destruction of a recently expanded manufacturing plant that created solar panels. The plant had been working steadily in Maryland for 30 years and recently had to shut its doors. The question is why? With the new initiatives and calling for Green Energy by the Obama administration you would think that these kinds of established jobs should have multiplied rather than be eliminated.

Needless to say Federal and local regulations in Frederick Maryland helped cause a negative business climate in which BP sent their jobs elsewhere. Looking at how much it costs in terms of government subsidies to create these jobs, the United States is following the example of Spain, in which for every green job created, another 2 jobs are lost in separate fields due to taxation. If the Administration was serious about green jobs then they should allow the free market to help allocate resources rather than creating a glut of solar products which lowers prices and kills jobs.

Update: This was shot and edited well before the Oil spill in the gulf, so stop emailing us about energy theories please. We appreciate the enthusiasm but these two situations are unrelated.

The following featured video from ALG News featuring Barack Obama, Paul Krugman, and Sarah Palin gets to the truth about the true role of Independent Medicare Advisory Board (i.e. death panels).
